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!

This is upsettingly good. Turn down the talent, please, you're embarrassing the rest of us.
