The Phone Voice
Flash Fiction.
Not just anyone can master The Phone Voice.
We can’t all disguise how we feel — can’t hide disappointment, anger, angst or any of the other more intense emotions, really, all that well.
Some of us are better at faking it than others — can turn it on or off based on almost any given situation.
It’s something of an art. A skill. Or maybe a personality defect that can be in some instances actually admirable, depending on how you look at it.
