The Bad Idea
Yesterday, a friend of mine called me. It was a John, an old buddy from high school. I hadn’t spoken with him for years, and we started to reminisce about all the crap we pulled in high school. A few days later I decided to call him back, and see if we could get together, maybe go fishing or something.
We talked on the phone for a while, and I said to him “Hey, maybe we should get together sometime.” He first said that that was a bad idea, but then he agreed. I asked him for address, copied it down, and told him I’d see him in the morning.
The next morning I arrived at the place he said he lived at. There was nothing but rubble there. It looked like there had been a fire there years ago, but nothing got cleaned up, and the plants never regrew. In the middle of the rubble, I found a old rotary style telephone on the floor, not connected to anything. Hurriedly, I pulled out my cellphone and called his number.
The telephone on the floor rang.
Once.
Twice.
A third time.
I dropped my cellphone in shock, and knelt to grab the rotary telephone. A voice, drenched in distortion and hiss, said:
“I told you this was a bad idea.”
but who was phone?

Love this one immensely…crazy classic!
Hitchcocky in nature, great stuff!
Wait, what? Why would John call the guy in the first place? He’s like…dead and shit.
John was bored
I finally realise what this one meant due to the first comment, lolz. Mind telling me WHO WAS PHONE?
He hadnt known the guy was dead. As stated, he hadnt spoken with him in years.
This story pretty much is WHO WAS PHONE?
Just like “He who should not be named” or whatever was just like Candlejack. I kinda like the memes in my creepypa
And then John was a zombie.
Yo who cares , if the guy is dead but still is cool, nothing to fear. Matter of fact someone bust out the champagne its a reunion tonight oh babyyyyyyy.
i knew the end was coming the second john sed it was a bad idea…
if a friend called me and i found this out, i’d keel over and die from a heartattack right there in the debris n shit
=S
woahh, freakish dude.
fuck itd be like john come on you couldve mentioned this before.
that was cool
LOL @ water melon
No one noticed this yet?
_Yesterday_, a friend of mine called me. It was a John, an old buddy from high school.

What’s your point scalepad?? :/
Oh I get it…he died bewteen the days right?
Then explain “It looked like there had been a fire there years ago”? o_o
@ scale pad spellimg errors shouldn’t matter unless the story sucked all together but it didn’t
??
What’s spelling errors got to do with it?
What is a John? I’ve never seen a John.
Anyway, nice pasta.

In regards to scalepads comment…
If the author called John yesterday, we would assume he was recalling this memory (Story, persepctive etc) from today. To say it happened a few days later doesn’t make sense from a tense (grammatical) perspective.
If a friend called me from the grave, I’d dig up his sorry arse just to kick it.
Oh, I get it. John was a phone the whole time!
Don’t you see it?!
“{Yesterday}, a friend of mine called me.”
“{A few days later} I decided to call him back”
If a friend called yesterday, then a few days later is at least tomorrow. THEN WHO WAS TIME WARP?!
@Anonymous
What is a John?
A miserable pile of secrets!
Twitch is weeeird o.0
Y’see, fucking High School these days.
That’s right, guys. So knock off the bullshit “WHO WAS…” comments. Because you know know JOHN WAS PHONE!
It was a John
So the author was a time travelling prostitute?
Damn, I wasn’t the first to realize that the author was a prostitute.
Also, if I found out that my friend was dead but still talking from beyond the grave or that I was talking to a supernatural entity, I’d probably be okay with it.
