Did the phone ringing signify something other/more than just someone calling to talk with him? I'll have to say Yes.

Was the phone itself used for a special purpose (like the red phone in the old Batman show)? No.

Was the phone number his number, Yes.

or was it a number for something/someone else(a business, different person, etc)? No.

Is the significant aspect of this scenario the reason that the man did not have contact with other people? If so, was he stranded or forcibly isolated in some way?

Very yes.



If so, was he stranded No.

or forcibly isolated in some way? Hmmm... I could see this being answered either way. I will interpret it as yes.
