Miracles to order was a fine way for the paratimers to get mining concessions--but Nature can sometimes pull counter-miracles. And so can men, for that matter....
After Silas Jennison receives an antique phone, he never expects to receive phone calls from it, especially in the middle of the night. But when he realizes these calls are from the past, he isn't sure how it will affect these strangers' lives or even his own. This story was intended to be a throwback to anthology shows like Twilight Zone. It takes place during the pandemic.
