Potboiler (2012)
“A phone had been duct-taped to the underside of the tank lid. He peeled it free. The caller ID said WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO KNOW. He was afraid to answer but more afraid not to.
“Hello,” he said.
“Sorry it had to be this way,” a man’s voice said. “I’m sure you can understand.”

“Who are you?” he yelled. “What is this?”

“I’m not going anywhere.”
“You will if you... want to live.”

“It’s not a threat. If we wanted to do something to you, we would have done it already.”
“That’s supposed to make me feel better?”
“It’s not about your feelings,”MoreLess
