Take a chance, you never know how good you might be at it.
Telemarketer Maximilian Hansen, a middle-class American, struggles at a dead-end job. Every day, he calls several hundred clients, in the hopes of making a few sales to support his wife and two kids. With monthly expenses piling up and his spouse worried that they might lose the house, Max is compelled to seek other methods to make ends meet.
On an eventful and unforgettable day, he encounters a charming young man. Little does Max know just how much that man will turn his world upside down. Offered the chance to change his life in ways he's never even imagined, though, Max is faced with a decision. Should he take a chance at bettering his life, at the risk that things could go sour and potentially endanger his livelihood and his family?

Click...
Clack...
Bzzz...
Maximillian Hansen’s entire work life had been reduced to nothing more than the monotonous, sparse moments between answering the phone and slamming it back into its cradle, only for it to beckon again. Those moments had a vanishing quality to them, and it seemed every call was shorter than the last. The constant beeping of dial tones in his ears was cursing him with headaches, but even worse were the indignant screams that preceded them.
You are destined for great things, my boy,
his grandfather had once told him, but Max was sure the old man couldn’t have possibly been referring to the carpeted box he was now condemned to, that claustrophobic cubicle that sucked the life out of him. When he first took the job, fool that he was, he was sure that marketing popular brands would be as simple as waiting behind a register and saying, Thank you. Come again!
Now, after years of it, he realized that simple just meant deathly dull. Every day, he had visions of setting the headset under the wheel of the chair and rolling over it on his way out the door.
Of course, even if he did make a great escape on that wheeled office chair, he had nowhere to go but home. That was the catch. He had a great wife and two wonderful kids, a family who grinned at him in the small photo he had pinned to the cubicle wall, next to a sticky note marked Why I do it.
The photo had been taken a couple years prior, while they were vacationing in Mexico. In it, he was already slightly balding and developing a paunch, and those side effects of age had only worsened sense then. Nevertheless, Maggie was at his side, beaming while she held her arm around him. Every time he looked at the picture, one pitiful thought occurred to him: She’s too good for me. All generous curves and slightly taller than he was, she loved to laugh and tease him. Look at that baby beard,
he recalled her saying when the photo was developed. Is that your way of compensating for the hair that’s missing from the top of your head, dear?
The kids were younger in the picture too. Two years apart, they got their drive and curiosity in full share from him, but he had to thank goodness their looks came from their mother. Truly, they were why he did it, why he did anything, and he had to remind himself of that often.
Just two more calls, he told himself, steeling up for the inevitable angry answer. Just two calls, two swearing people, two phone slams. Before he did his duty, though, he needed to stretch. He also yearned for a smoke, but he had promised Maggie he’d make a valiant effort to try to quit. He logged out and walked slowly to the water cooler, stretching unused muscles and joints that responded with new popping, grinding noises that he’d never heard before.
Damn it. I’m too young to be in a body this old.
For Max, that was a scary trek, a walk of shame, like an episode of Walking Dead: Telemarketers Edition. His zombified colleagues sat in their little cubes, staring at their flickering screens, glassy-eyed and numb as they recited the sales script that never proved effective. They blindly dialed and robotically spoke with universal lilting excitement, playing off any shred of false interest they could find in the person who had dared to answer the phone.
And how are you today, sir?
As if anyone cares.
I hope you’re having a fantastic day!
Because the screen tells me to tell you I hope so.
Oh, I think you’ll love the products we have selected for you.
And, hey, you’d be the first!
Max just shook his head as he walked by. Yeah, I could really, really use a smoke.
Billy spotted him, logged out, then headed over to stand by Max.
The poor bastard, Max thought as he looked at the young man. He saw himself in Billy, and it wasn’t necessarily a pleasing reflection as much as a telling one. The young man had arrived bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, rarin’ to go, energetic and full of life, like the captain of a sure-to-win football team. In just two short years, that life had been drained from him, leaving him with a vacant stare, an ashy, gray complexion, and the permanent air of disappointment that was a hazard of the profession. Even Billy’s voice had the flat, toneless quality that the place inflicted on its workers. There was an undeniable toll to people cursing one out and slamming the phone in one’s ear as soon as Hello...
was muttered. Max realized that Billy still reminded him of himself, even in the present day.
At least I’ve got a job, sort of. At least we’re not living on the streets, Max reminded himself, especially when the reports and scolding from the higher-ups indicated that sales were down. Unfortunately, every time he tried to give himself a pep talk, an evil little troll jumped on his shoulder and whispered, Yet.
Hey, Max, make any sales today?
It was the standard question, masked as polite interest. Mostly, though, it was a plea for something, for anything to break the monotony. It was like two ancient fishermen meeting at the dock, just hoping the other had cracked the code to get the fish biting.
Max sighed and shook his head. Nope. You?
Billy performed a similar headshake, then fiddled with his badge that hung on a lanyard around his neck. He used the plastic card to dig a bit of nonexistent dirt out of his fingernails. "What’s with these people, man? Does anybody even buy from cold calls anymore? I mean, this isn’t the eighties. No one wants what I’m selling, especially when I call them outta the blue. I mean, if they walked into a store and saw the same
