So sad, but totally believable. This kind of ripped my heart out!

Whoa. If only Margaret knew just what indeed had shifted.

You know what? Stuff like this wouldn't happen if people wouljd quit using these automated voice messages. *robot voice* You have reached 5753029348.
Sorry. Ahem. Pet peeve. Anyway, very nicely done. I really love that ending sentence. Oh if only Margaret knew what she had done.

Oh no. I remember reading a newspaper article saying 2/10 people or something had received a voicemail with something important like this on it and no way of tracking the number, etc because the person did not leave their phone number. And most of the people thought about it for days after they deleted it....
This totally sounds like something that could have happened- which is cool you elaborated on it.

Oh, wow. This was so good. How tragic. I loved it.
"Margaret bites her nail, the oddest sensation settling in her gut that something in the universe had just shifted."
Incredible line.

Oh. I've had that happen- well not that, exactly, but I got an urgent message from someone stranded at an airport somewhere, but this was before caller ID so I had no way to let them know that I couldn't help them. It's an awful feeling, so yeah, poor Margaret. And poor Pam, thinking that he just didn't care. And Jim, thinking she never tried to call. Great idea, great execution!

ha! ILU. great explanation!

Oh my goodness the thought of this happening is just so heartbreaking. I'm glad you wrote that.

That has to be happened!
Date: October 29, 2008 04:28 pm Title: Chapter 1
And now I know why. That thought seriously never crossed my mind, but now I'm gonna consider it canon, k?

Ah ha, I knew Pam would have called him! This really explains so much. (Too bad Margaret didn't have caller ID so she could have called Pam back and told her she'd reached the wrong number so we wouldn't have had to suffer through S3.)

ah! I whole-heartedly want to believe this is what happened.

Awwww! Makes me sad. Fortunately, the universe righted itself. Very clever, bebitched. Nice job.
