I dreamed every caller knew my name but wouldn't say where they were
I'm at my console and the screens are all dark—no maps, no address headers, just the ringing. I pick up and the voice is familiar, someone I've talked down before, or my neighbor, or that kid from the convenience store, and they all say my name—not 'Dispatcher,' my actual name—and when I ask where they are they laugh, soft, and say 'you know where.' I keep telling them I don't, I can't help if they don't tell me, and the line just hums. I woke up with that hum in my teeth.
