Truman Monologue

It all just started as a way to cure my loneliness. . . .

One day, not sure which day because I’ve lost track of the days, I got a call. I heard an alarming “Ring! Ring! Ring!”. I was certain it was a call for Conchetta, my wife, because because I hadn’t heard from anyone since her death. With a little bit of hope, I picked up the phone, and said, “Hello,” as most people do. “Hello. Is this Mr. Angelo Pignati?” said the voice on the other line. I almost squealed I was so excited.
