Light a Contact! Burn a Contact!

Prompt image picture taken from the top of Seattle's Space Needle
~
Microfiction Monday #38 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.
~

Your Dad's waiting! Have you made contact? Are they close? Tell me! When can we get out? It MUST be now or we will always be his slaves!
