A man leaves his apartment to find no other human life. He lives for nearly a year without any human contact, and decides to take his own life. After jumping from his apartment building, he hears his phone ring on his way towards the ground, and regrets his impending death because he thinks a person was calling him.

In actuality, the caller was an automated telemarketing service that continued making unsolicited sales calls even after everyone on the "Do not call" list had vanished. Not only was the caller a recording, it was a spanish recording. If the man had answered, he would have gone completely insane, and lived out his days having intense conversations with his three dead fish: Larry, Curly, and Moe.
