Abstract image of sound waves like a heartbeat

911, what’s your emergency?

You’ve got to help me – I think I’m in love.

Sorry, sir, did you say love?

Love.

Sir, this is 911, what’s your emergency?

Love. It zaps you.

…

Like electricity.

This number’s for emergencies only, sir.

But this is an emergency, it won’t stop following me around.

Sir, are you saying you’re being stalked?

That’s why I called.

Are they there now?

It never leaves.

Are you being threatened?

In a way.

Where are they?

Well, inside me.

Inside you, sir?

Yes.

…are we still talking about love?

Yes! I need your help.
