Mən, sən, o, və telefon - Anar [mətn, qısa hekayət]

I have recently reread the short story Mən, sən o, və telefon by Anar. I really like this story. Great practice for reading and translation. I was going to type it all out, when I thought... maybe, just maybe... (unlike ssenarilər!) it just might be available online. And guess what? Anar has his own website! And the whole story is available there! What luck. This is really a wonderful thing. I didn't realize that this story was adapted by Nora Ephron (who recently died) into the 1998 movie You've Got Mail. Anyway, the story follows on the next page. Enjoy!

Telefon nömrələri
Oxşamaz bir-birinə
amma hamısında
insan səsi...
...pis günlər
oxşamaz bir-birinə
birində özün susarsan,
birində telefon.

Telephone numbers don't look alike but in all is the sound of a person's voice... 
... bad days don't resemble each other, in one you will keep silent, in one telephone.
