#calls - Hello Poetry

A calm day, Former agent Trevor Maximus rested, Bathing in the sun of summer on his front porch, A Coke can perched in his hand. His eyes traced the flight pattern of a humming bird, Flying silently through the warm summer breeze, Hovering above the plastic bird feeder, drinking in it's refreshing reward. Trevor let out a great sigh, He always thought the artificial red color of the plastic bruised the beauty of the countryside, Still, he refused to take it down, his late mother loved seeing those strange winged creatures drink from it. It was then when he got the call, A ring like screaming compared to the quiet of the country. Trevor reached to answer the call, but hesitated, What if he just let it ring? He could go right back to his cold Coke, And the beautiful touch of the summer winds. But he decided against it, he didn't have many friends so whoever was trying to reach him must need him desperately. So he set down his drink and picked up his phone, Though when he checked the caller ID, he didn't recognize it. (276)-435-9009, a Virginia area code, He looked around in a panic, when he had moved out he made a point of avoiding people, Scared of making any ties. Trevor took a deep breath and composed himself, Swiping up the answer button. "Hello? Trevor Maximus speaking?" "Hello agent, you have three hours to make your way to the Goslting Square where I and my team will meet you. If you do not show up in the allotted time, we will come to you. Timer starts now." Silence.

The Maximus Epic, Pt. 1

A calm day, Former agent Trevor Maximus rested, Bathing in the sun of summer on his front porch, A Coke can perched in his hand.
