PAYPHONE #1

Colin has been in love with the same woman for twenty-two years. The woman, called Jinx, has been married to someone else for nearly that long. After work, he comes in, orders a large black, sits at one of the tables and writes notes that he later reads to her over the phone.

It goes like this.

He stands at the payphone with the receiver in one hand, pad and pencil in the other.


JINX: Hello?

COLIN: If you dream that I am writing to you, read and believe what I have written.

Click.
