Wendy?
In the 1960s Wendy gets an office job in London's Fleet Street area. As the office junior she has the job of doing most of the filing.
She was busy filing one afternoon when she heard one of the other girls call, 'Wendy?' She looked around to see who wanted her and saw twenty heads bent over desks. Wendy waited but no one looked up.
She kept hearing the voice from time to time. It was always saying, "Wendy?" and was never frightening.
She changes jobs and the voice goes with her. She marries and settles down and the voice goes with her. Childbirth and the years pass. She watches her children grow and still the voice is around, so familiar now that she almost ignores it.
Then she has to go to hospital and the voice is still with her, only now it has changed and for the first time she is frightened.
