A reply which, with every excruciating second that rolled on, never seemed to arrive and whose likelihood of ever doing so decreased the more they multiplied. Right when he started to think, despite the mobile phone compa-ny’s assurances, which were impossible to confirm, or cross-check, or even hold to account for spread-ing false information, that his text had possibly been caught in traffic amongst the millions of other ones
