Question

There was no s【3】 of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was c【4】 dead.

I h【5】 forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue p【6】 raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face—he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer.

Carefully and s【7】 , remained standing few feet away and lit cigarette to wait my turn. it was when threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling（流下来）from under the call box door.
