The Mystery Song Request That No One Made

One night during the late show, the phone line lit up with a request for “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” The caller’s voice was calm, almost whispery — but when we went to log it, there was no number on record. The studio phone history was blank. We played the song anyway, and halfway through it, someone texted saying it was their mom’s favorite — she’d passed away that same day. Still gives me chills.
