Abstract
Mousy Jean becomes irate when her solitary lunch is interrupted by the insistent ringing of a nearby diner's cell phone and in an uncharacteristic fit of boldness, she approaches him only to find that his ringing phone is the only spark of life he has left. When the phone continues to ring, she flips it open and answers it. Thus begins her oddly intimate relationship with the man, unfolding solely through the people who knew him.
