[Sir Gawain]

There was a story I read shortly after 9/11 about a wife that had a message on her answering machine left by her husband. I wish I could find that story again.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I found this on the web from 09/14/01 which includes a story about a woman, her husband and the answering machine.

Reading it again brought it all back; the hurt is overwhelming.
