\r\ni was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of england looking somewhere to make a phone call．my car had broken down outside the town and i wanted to get in touch with the automobile association．low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea．it had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street．i was glad that i was wearing a thick coat．
\r\ni could see no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour i could ask．i had thought i might find a shop selling the sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead．
\r\nthen suddenly i found what i was looking for．there was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, i hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when i saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside．he was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots．i could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer．carefully and surprisedly, i remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn．it was when i threw the dead match on the ground that i noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door．
