Telephone loop numbers

It's about 4:00 in the morning. I'm awake. I can't sleep.

I get out of bed.

I'm in my apartment.

Well, it's sort of my apartment - it looks a little like where I live, but is much nicer.

The moonlight streams in through the windows, creating a kind of strange, blue glow.

The telephone rings.

I walk over and pick it up.

A female voice speaks on the other end. It is a recording.

"The last number called from this phone was 590-1520," it says.

Then, she hangs up.

I pause for a moment. I hang up the phone and dial the number - 590-1520.

The phone rings on the other end. It's the female voice again.

"The last number called from this phone was 590-1520."

I pause for a moment. I hang up the phone and dial the number again.

There's a ring and the voice answers again.

"The last number called from this phone was 590-1520,"

I pause and, again, hang up the phone and dial the number.

The phone rings and the female recording speaks.

"Please hang up and go do something else."

Then I woke up.
