The calling

Well for the last 6 weeks I've been awaiting some test results for an MRI scan I had, so to say the least, when the results were given to me it was a welcome relief to myself. I wouldn't consider myself as a worrier at all, but this could of been life changing, and for the worse.

Why am I telling you this you may ask, well it was on Monday (21/07/14) that I had my appointment, and also on Monday night that I was called. Let me set the scene for you.

I had walked into my bathroom to was my face with some cold water as it was rather a hot evening, and after I splashed my face I looked directly into my mirror at my own reflection. I couldn't decide if I wanted to cry with relief or just to carry on and not mention to my girlfriend the severity of the situation. It was at this moment that I heard in my left ear a female voice calling my name.

The way it was done was slightly different to normal in that my name was drawn out, it was made longer which made it sound odd. Also the fact that it felt like it came from someone stood within 4 feet of me, yet I know my girlfriend was in fact in the front room, on the other side of the house.

So with towel in hand and patting my wet face down, I walked to the door way of the front room and asked my girlfriend what did she want. She looked at me puzzled and said "I never called you, maybe it was the ghost". I said "Ha, yeah right, did you call the dog ?" and she said "I was playing with the dog, so might of made some sounds, but I didn't call him". So either these sounds changed when they traveled down my hallway, or my head and ears just messed with me.

My walk back to the bathroom felt rather cold, despite the heat, and more thoughts went through my mind, but not about the voice, about my life and it's direction.
