Into The Past
Copyright-Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
“Photo, favorite colors, menorah…” Jake set the old phone on the table and looked at the note his father left him in his will.
When I die, gather the following items and find the old phone in the attic. Call this number. Your grandfather will help.
It made no sense to him. His grandfather had died before he was born.
“Hello?” the voice on the phone answered.
“Albert Green?” Jake asked.
“Yes. Who is this?”
“Um, my name is Jacob Green and…I’m your grandson.”
There was a pause. “Charlie is dead, isn’t he? Jacob, listen carefully. You are in danger.”
That wasn’t how I was expecting it to end…I want to know what happens next!! Great job!!
Thank you. I was stumped by the photo prompt and this little story just seemed to fall out of my head
Very intriguing. Nice work.
Thanks!
Surprising ending. I want more.
Thanks. I might revisit this story one day and see what I can build from it.
Intriguing story, and definitely one you could build on. There’s a lot of mystery here.
This left me with chills….There is so much you can do with this…Truthfully this kind of stuff doesn’t grab me but something about this story did…really fine work.

Thank you kindly, sir.
Shake your head hard and see what else falls out!! You’re on a roll.

this was a totally unexpected ending – it made me go ‘ooh!’ (out loud which was a bit embarrassing). Fabulous. I want to know what happens next!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh oh…danger and mystery…didn’t see that coming. Well done
Thanks Boomie!
Really enjoyed this. Great idea and I want to know more. Well done.
Thanks for reading!
Dear H.L.
My pedestal phone is starting to give me the heebie-jeebies. As for your story…well written and entertaining.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Ah, pedestal phone. I knew there had to be another name for it other than ‘old phone’. Thank you for that nugget!
Damn, this is a good one! Gave us chills.
Hi H.L.,
Nice to think that someone is watching out for us from above. Very thoughtful story. Ron
excellent set up. well done.
I actually got shivers from this one, I think this is the best one with telephone calls from the other side.
