So there I was, sweat beading on my face, soaking the phone which I held to my ear...7:28, every second pulsated with in me.
The service in my mothers basement was terrible, but I breathed a sigh of relief when my call went through.
My knees started to shake, the voice on the other end was like a soothing breath of fresh air, paralyzing my body from within.... "Hello, this is
Adorama"
7:29, and I started to place my order, slowly but surly I rasped out my order, lens, grip, and my first tripod. My stomach was in knots from the antagonizing thought of holding the sturdy shaft of aluminum, and the grippyness of the grip.
I state my credit information, each syllable as smooth as a baby butterfly in a meadow of daisies flying, swish, swish, swish, the air around it.
There was silence on the other end....My ears rang, and the world stopped as I listened for a reply..
The word was like liquid lead being poured into my already sweaty ears......"Denied'
It tore at me, and ripped my photographic flesh from my bones!
Nooooooooooo I cried out, and whipped my hair back in pain.
I raised my arms up to the ceiling, and screamed at the top of my lungs until the window panes shook, and my throat was near to collapse.
I panted, and caught my breath as the man on the other end got a Q-tip to clean the blood out of his ears.
"I'll go to my banks page!" I shrieked, a moment of hope, the light of a solution, in a tunnel of mere pain and suffering.
I franticly typed, clicked, facerolled, and shortkeyed to the correct page, realizing that my limit was not yet reached
I reached for my phone, 7:37 on the clock above, hoping to hear a voice of sultry on the other end.
"beep, beep, beep, beep, beep"
ARRGRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH blasted out of my lungs, like a hurricane of words!
DAMN YOU DIAL TONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
