Chapter Sixty-Three - Cat Called
"The history of telemarketing stretches all the way back to the early days of the Bell telephone, where only the eccentric and rich could afford a phone of their own and therefor they made for great targets for sales pitches and cold calls.
As history progressed, the phone became an ubiquitous part of human society. It's no surprise that ads vectored in throught that medium continue to be popular to this day."

Gomorrah was not happy with me.
I could tell, because she very pointedly removed her facemask so that I could get an unobstructed view of her glare. Also, the first thing she said when she arrived was "I'm not happy with you."
"Did you get a lot of calls?" I asked.
"I had to get an answering machine catalogue," Gomorrah said. "Your little prank has cost me fifty points."
