Now what are we gonna do? J* has her heroine in a fine predicament. I was going to revive her with a lame trick (she'd only taken Sominex and strong coffee would perk her up) but now her tongue and face are getting numb.
What we need is a deus ex machina. 40-some years later I really get why we had to learn that - some kind of divine intervention is called for. Maybe she'll just stick her finger down her throat.
Otherwise, this plot will necessarily wind down fast, and it will be too depressing to read.

If this old flame is to be of any use at all, he might have sense enough to hang up and dial 9-11. Or not. They may miss each other's SOS, as happens, in life. I doubt that downer would get published, even for nothing, in a miserable newspaper. It would make for a good opera though.

A fine opera.
Maybe the reason she downed the pills (someone worthy but unaccountably obtuse) could rescue her, find the dropped receiver and learn about the old flame. Then - a ménage a trois! - all kinds of possibilities open up.

Forget it. Mike may have saved our heroine, but he has just spoiled the mood!

I'm no wordsmith, but some one who is could try this: As she rolls over and is losing it she sees the phone plug lying on the floor, which she had pulled out of the jack because she didn't want to be interrupted when she started her OD. She hasn't really been connected........... Doodoodoodoo, doodoodoodoo. Valentines come in many forms, in the Twilight Zone.
