Chaos comes a calling ??
Hello there!
The title I wrote on the subject box was used as a title of some story which is about some funny episode.
I wonder what the title means anyway.
It might be difficult to guess some meaning without any context... but to bo sorry, I can't give any more contexts.
Just the title.
Does it possibly mean "something confusing happens"?
Any guess would be fine for me.
Just your help would be great for me.
Thanks a lot ~!

In older English a used to be used with -ing words, often connected thus: a-calling.
This a is not the indefinite article used before nouns.
To understand it in the modern English version, interpret it without the a.
Chaos comes calling. (Chaos comes knocking on your door, for example.)
It's obviously a metaphor for saying tha
