THE WIND PHONE A CALL TO THE DEPARTED
by Laura Jaye Cramer
On a quiet hill
overlooking the coastal town of Ōtsuchi, Japan, a modest white telephone booth stands as a sanctuary for the grieving. Inside, a black rotary phone rests on a simple metal shelf, its line disconnected. Though silent to the ear, this unassuming booth has carried the weight of over 30,000 whispered conversations, connecting hearts to loved ones lost.
