Curiosity is something that is embedded in a human being. Who hasn’t wondered about what would happen if I do this? Well, the same thing happened to me. I was looking at my phone bored. I was aimlessly scrolling through my daily feed when something caught my eye. It said that if you tried calling yourself, you will get free recharge. Normally I won’t fall for this, but as I said, I was bored.
I went straight to my caller and dialed my number. I heard it ring and someone picked up the phone. I literally jumped out of my chair. I quickly ended the call and checked the number. It was my number! I couldn’t think straight. I again dialed the number. Someone picked it up. I gathered my guts and waited for them to say something. Nothing was going on on the other side of the connection.
‘Hello?’ I asked, ‘Who am I speaking to?’ Still nothing. I waited.
A raspy voice replied, ‘I am your agent. My job is to study you.’
‘Wh… what do you mean stu.. study me? I didn’t sign for anything of such kind.’ There was some disturbance at the other end and the call ended. I was so confused and scared that I thought that I couldn’t sleep through the night.
Then I woke up. I quickly checked my call log and thankfully there was no record of me calling myself. It was a dream.
