-Operator Laugarvatn. Good morning, the girl´s sexy voice usually touches the boys´ sensitivity, but not this time.
-1965, Keflavik.
-So, so, Loki dear, where are the manners. Anna on the Telephone Station who recognises each voice in her district usually inquires about each and every one of those who happen to use her service. What´s bothering you now? Is it the lovelife once again? It´s a common secret that Anna taps the pupils´ phonecalls. Therefore she was aware of sundry matters. The
pupils know that they can speak to her about their heartburns and get advise.
-No, no Anna dear. I just have to ring home this minute. I´ll discuss the reason with you another time.
-921965, you´re contacted Loki dear, informs the curious telephone girl, who´s about to listen to this unexpected phonecall.
In Keflavik the phone gets picked up by the first ring.
-Hello, his mother´s voice sounds as wonderfully as always in the son´s ears, who is in a self-appointed exile away from home.
-Mamma! Is something the matter, asks the adolescent who´s twiddling with the collar like he always does when he´s borthered by something. I´ve been getting this urge to call home.
-No, no dear. Nothing´s changed since yesterday, except that we´ve got a visit from someone you´ll never have expected.
-Well, who is it, he inquires with no real interest and has become himself again, because his fear seems to have been unnecessary.
-Yes, I was really surprised, he hears his mum shout just as she hits her thigh making a loud noise. You´re old enemy and neighbour Jon Jonsson came to visit me just after lunchtime in this real bad weather!
Loki catches his breath before he moans:
-You must be hallucinating, mamma! At this moment he´s hiding somewhere here on Laugarvatn. I did really see him just the other minute here on Kos.
-Fownir! He hears his mother call down to the basement, where his pabbi (dad) usually sits with his newspaper. Loki is on the line!
-What´s that, woman, he hears his father yell astoundingly and in
succession his heavy footsteps, when he comes running up the steps.
Loki! The high voice reflects how stunded this unsuspected phonecall has made his father, and perhabs because he had had real difficulty believing in Jon´s ability, but now he´d have to reconsider his opinion.
Why are you calling, son, is something the matter, he asks eventhough he suspects in a manner that the question´s unnecessary. Yet the kid´s potential ability seems too unbelievable.
-Pabbi, is it true what mamma tells me, that Jon Jonsson is visiting you?
-Yes...Fownir prolongs the answer, why do you ask?
-You don´t think it´s possible that he´d be in two places simultaneously...
-Yes blessed son, so it seems. Jon came to visit you, but because you´re there on Laugarvatn, he told us he´d contact you spiritually...he then describes the day´s events in a few words for his son, who listens astounded to his father´s story. I´ve read something about the possibility of mind-reading, but being in two places at the same time is news to me, Fownir carries on.
-Yes, it´s much too freaky to be true, Loki agrees.
-Yes, it´s unbelievable, but I´ve read that holy men in India are doing it all the time. The telephone girl´s unexpected participation in their conversation surprices father and son.
-Wha...wha! Who are you if I may ask? Fownir asks with an angry voice. I find it awfully rude listening to private phonecalls?
-I beg your pardon, but my name´s Anna and I work here on the
telephone-station. The fact of the matter is that I have much affection for your son, and when I heard how worried he seemed to be, I did what I usually never do, I listened to your conversation in the means of trying to assist him in some way if I possibly could. She doesn´t seem worried about the fact that her hobby has been discovered. I just wanted you to know, that
nothing´s new under the sun. If memory doesn´t fail me the phenomenon is called holography in the English language, when the spirits of people who have the ability can transform and show themselves far away from the actual body and is a part of so-called astral-transforming.
Jon comes running down the stairs and looks very self-assured, when he snatches the phone.
-Loki, how do you do! Jon here. What´s up, man? Not waiting for an answer he informs Loki, that it were of grave importance that he came home to visit him in Keflavik as soon as possible, the emphasis on the adverb.
-Why is it, that you who has been on my back annoying me as long as I remember suddenly are eager to meet me, Loki asks cautiously. The reason´s hardly anything positive?
-Ye, hold your horces, dear friend! I really beg your pardon for my behaviour and having pursueing you continually. But I´m a new and improved man, and Jon speaks just as nothing were easier than forgetting old wrong-doings. I just have to have a talk with you privately, because the telephone doesn´t seem to be the proper scene.
-I find it difficult to believe and trust you Jon Jonsson. And why should I having had to tolerate your negative behaviour towards me throughout the years? The feeling of assurance has shown itself in the former victim of Jon´s foul play. You shall not think, that I´m eager to meet such an arse, as you are...
-Hey, keep your shirt on, my friend! This kind of language isn´t necessary. I honestly feel ashamed of my behaviour toward you. Please give me a chance to explain my case.
I never want to see you again, Jon Jonsson, Loki yells into the phone before he rings off loudly. He´s lost all control feeling furious. Who does this fool think he is! He isn´t aware of Svenni who´s standing behind him with open ears. Svenni puts his hand on his friend´s shoulder.
Calm yourself,Loki. Svenni´s soothing voice has a good impact on the agitated adolescent. Who were you yelling on he asks when most of the anger has disappeared.
-Who else but that devil of a man, Jon Jonsson, Loki replies with true contempt in his voice.
-What does he actually want from you?
-Can you believe that now at long last after everything that has been brewing between us, he wants to come to better terms and meet me. But I had this peculiar sensation throughout the phonecall, just like someone was whispering, that something dirty is behind this sudden alteration of this scum. Therefore I blew my horns this way.
-So, so Loki. Don´t you think you´re too judgmental, As before Sveinn becomes a self-appointed peacemaker. He can´t understand how anyone is able to hate another person. Wouldn´t you even like to hear what he has to tell you?
