I'm going to ignore the sarcasm and read it as earnest...I'm shocked by the revelation.
Before long I'm gonna be interested enough in the story to hafta read it myself, and then there'll be two of us desperate to know the title!I'm all over the map with authors (and most everything else) so it could have been anyone. I could have heard it on the radio (it's possible).
Whoever it was, it was awhile ago (90' maybe?) not last year. If it was last year, I would really be worried.
Thanks for thinking about this with me, it's been tapping on my brain since last night.
Did I hurt yer feelings? Didn't mean to.I'm going to ignore the sarcasm and read it as earnest...

I am pretty sure that it is "Gramma" and I just scanned through the whole story (you can download it as a PDF) - he does make a phone call near the end.Oh come on now Frank, you were having a joke, we were having a joke... it was all light hearted nothingness.
So back to topic... I really do hope we get to find out what this story is, it sounds interesting.
I erased that link to the story. I'm not sure that we can post that, but please feel free to ask Marsha about it in the morning.I am pretty sure that it is "Gramma" and I just scanned through the whole story (you can download it as a PDF) - he does make a phone call near the end.
Okay - no problem. I actually starting thinking about this later (while making myself a sandwich). I just knew I had read that story - thanks DJI erased that link to the story. I'm not sure that we can post that, but please feel free to ask Marsha about it in the morning.

Oy! Every time I see this thread resurrected I think: hallelujah! someone's figured it out. Did you hallucinate a short story addieprey? or dream it maybe? too bad there's not something like IMDB for books & stories (or is there?).This I still driving me crazy. I have searched all sorts of things trying to come up with an answer and asked all my friends if it sounded familiar (no) to no avail.
I think I will have to medicate myself over this!

This is driving me crazy! I feel like I've read it, too. I went through all of Gaiman's short stories (that I'm aware of), Campbell's, Joe Hill's... nada.This I still driving me crazy.
