Flight

A coworker was annoyed because I never pick up the phone when he calls. Somehow I shut my ringer off inadvertently, so he demanded my phone and programmed the various sounds to notify me of calls, e-mails, text messages, and scheduled events. Today I sent an e-mail, and as it launched, I was surprised by the sound of the alert tone known as Note. That's the one that used to announce you. My body felt the same visceral reaction it did back then. It's been years.

What a sound that was. A symphony in a single note.
