Black Story - Something fishy

There's a dead man on the floor of a telephone box. The panes of glass are broken and there's blood everywhere. Lying in front of the phone box is a large fish .... 

The man was a keen angler. He phoned his best friend to brag about the size of the fish he had just caught (this was in the days that mobile phones were not widely in use, so he was in a phone booth).

Grossly exaggerating and gesticulating wildly, his arms smashed into the glass sides of the phone box, cutting himself. He bled to death.
