The chosen one

Bookmarked Micro SF/F by O. Westin: "My phone rang. As did the phones of everybody els…" - Mastodon.ART by @MicroSFF@mastodon.art.

My phone rang. As did the phones of everybody else in the coffee shop. Unknown number.

I looked around. Everyone inside, and on the street outside, stared at their phones and rejected the call.

I looked at my phone.

Answered.

"Hello?"

"You are," a voice said, "the Chosen One."

I want to read this novel.
