[ WP ] You call your mother or father 's cell phone number on a whim . They answer . But they 've been dead for over a year .

My first post so here goes. 
 
 
 
 *sigh* Another lonely evening. 
 
 David sat in his room watching Netflix again. Why bother going outside when he was comfortable in his room? He does remember however, when he was comfortable going outside however. The soft call that mother always had when she called him down from his room to take a walk outside. The reassuring attitude that his father always carried around with him. 
 
 David felt brave back then. But they were dead for over a year now, and David felt dead as well. He called them time and time again after they had passed. He could n't process their absence. Sooner or later, he would have to accept that loss. So he chose to do one last time. As he dialed his father's phone number, he set up a conference call with his mother's cellular as well. It was a minute until midnight, and David felt that it was right to do it this way. David always went to bed at midnight. Never any later than that. David tapped his call button. It had struck midnight. 
 
 *ring*.....*ring*.....*ring*.......... 
 
 `` Hello? Davy is that you?'' 
 
 *Tears rolled down David's face* 
 
 `` MOM! Mom I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for what I did! I-'' 
 
 `` That's enough now David.'' 
 
 `` Dad?'' 
 
 `` Aye son, it's me. Now then, do n't go on cryin'. You're a man now, and men stand up on their own two feet. We know what you did, and we accepted the mistakes you've made. We *made* you boy-o. We love ya with all our heart and nothin' would change that.'' 
 
 `` Mama....Papa... `` 
 
 David's voice shook and he was trying his best to hold back tears. 
 
 `` I want to go home. I want to go with you.'' 
 
 `` Davy you ca n't do that! We need you to live on and keep going! We know you can do it! That's what we have prepared you for, to keep running no matter what happens! Mommy and Daddy might be gone, but we're always looking after you pumpkin.'' 
 
 David began choking on his tears. `` Do you promise?'' he let out in a whimper. 
 
 `` Aye boy. We promise.'' 
 
 `` Of course sweetie, you'll never be out of our sight. We promise to stay with you through thick and thin!'' 
 
 David took a deep breathe and tried to calm himself, `` Okay....okay, so, if I call you tomorrow will you pick up too?'' 
 
 `` I do n't think we can boy-o. It's that, you-only-get-one-call sorta thing, ya know?'' 
 
 `` Wait! I do n't understand! Why not?'' 
 
 `` Davy I'm sorry but we have to go. Rules are rules and we ca n't get caught!'' 
 
 `` Caught? What do you- 
 
 David heard a crash from the other end of the line. And then he heard the most unearthly voice, `` Humans can not make contact with their old loved ones. Your parents, child, will pay quite dearly.'' 
 
 `` NOT IF I STILL GOT MY TWO HANDS TA SAY-'' 
 
 What David heard next could only be described as a tomato being run over by a car 
 
 And then he heard it again. 
 
 And again. 
 
 and again.
