In response to Kat’s twittering tale # 93, to write a tale in 280 letters or less on the picture prompt given below.

When Sid heard of the magic phone which allowed one to speak to a dead person, he too joined the long queue of people, the only condition being, the phone rings when one touches it. Many tried in vain!
Sid picked up the ringing receiver with trembling hands.
“ Hello…..”
