Just a Moment

Sudden - 77

Ben Azevedo

A screen came to life on the wall. It was muted; Miles usually kept his TV this way. He was just reclining on his couch to relax when a loud tone sounded. The sudden noise startled Miles, and he tumbled off the couch, upsetting the remote, which un-muted. As the tone sounded again, Miles touched a button on his left ear and answered the phone.

“Hello?”

A deep voice, “Miles.”

“Yes?”

“You have a mission. Two hours.”
