I enjoyed this take on the prompt! I like how you emphasize that our relationship with technology is directly connected to our relationship with people--and oftentimes they are mutually exclusive. The world you paint is also very advanced--by which I mean, I can tell there is more to this world than just this story. This was a fun read!

Nicci, I love how you brought this prompt into the world you've been working in. I also love the haunting way this story ends, "I talk or I leave..." a sudden urgency placed upon this relationship that was not there when the phones/technology were there to distract from the reality at hand. Really wonderful stuff. Thank you so much for participating in our prompt celebration this month!
