Excellent a 150 word flash fiction story Short : Cold Call by Bill Schott 150 Words Flash Fiction contest entry Artwork by supergold at FanArtReview.com

Allen had a light breakfast that morning. Before long he was on the phone and on the clock. He had to make several cold calls for an appointment. His pet rock Andy held the phone list down on the table. The first call rang twice and was answered. "Hello. Is the lady of the house in?" "You have the wrong number." "It's the right number today, Ms. Mayor." "My-er. It's pronounced My-er." "I have a check here for Lisa Mayor. I'm sorry to have bothered you." "Check? From who?" "It's a rebate check from Sure Shoes. You recently made a purchase and you get a fifty percent reward." "Why not just mail it?" "I need to try and sell you more in person. It's a company policy." "You'll need to arrive before six." Allen booked the meeting, winked at his pet rock, and at five thirty -- Lisa met Andy.   Recognized Author Notes Thanks to supergold for use of the art shot.
