THE STATIC CRACKLED AT 2 AM WHEN MARCUS, A HAM RADIO OPERATOR FOR
THIRTY YEARS, FINALLY PICKED UP A VOICE HE'D NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
"KF7" THE VOICE SAID, THEN STOPPED. IT WAS HIS OWN CALL SIGN. AND HIS
OWN VOICE.
"HELLO?" MARCUS RESPONDED. "THIS IS KF7MARCUS. WHO IS THIS?"
SILENCE. THEN, USING HIS EXACT INFLECTION: "MARCUS. STOP BROADCASTING
ON THIS FREQUENCY. YOU NEED TO MOVE."
"MOVE? I'VE USED THIS FREQUENCY FOR"
"YOU NEED TO MOVE NOW."
THE VOICE VANISHED. MARCUS ADJUSTED THE DIAL, SEARCHING. NOTHING BUT
THE USUAL HUM OF DISTANT SIGNALS. HE WENT TO BED UNSETTLED.
THE NEXT NIGHT, SAME TIME. SAME VOICE. "MARCUS. WHY DIDN'T YOU MOVE?"
"THIS IS MY FREQUENCY," HE SAID, ANGER RISING. "WHO ARE YOU?"
A LONG PAUSE. THEN: "I WAS YOU. TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW. THERE'S
SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT TRACKS SIGNALS. OLD ONES. ESTABLISHED ONES.
IT FOUND ME IN 2044. I HAD TO ABANDON MY CALL SIGN. MY WHOLE LIFE IN
RADIO. NOW I'M WARNING YOU."
THE FREQUENCY WENT DEAD.
MARCUS NEVER TOUCHED THAT DIAL AGAIN. SOME NIGHTS, IN THE QUIET HOURS,
HE SWEARS HE HEARS HIS OWN VOICEOLDER, TIREDCALLING FROM SOMEWHERE FAR
AWAY.
