This short piece was inspired by a combination of two writing challenges I found online:
1. write a story from the point of view of a piece of technology2. write a story with less than 150 words
This topped out at 148 words. It was fun and difficult.
Why me? I wondered as the stabbing continued. The flames of an endless death burned away at my sanity, driving me to blackout. My body collided with the rough pavement as profanities were shouted at me for my failure to function properly. It wasn't for lack of trying. My internal system couldn't take the heat – pun intended. When he roughly snatched me from the ground, the last of my will to survive died away as the burning flesh of his palm made contact with my back. There was no point in going on, no longer a purpose for my existence. Using the last ounce of strength I possessed, I forced my screen to light up one last time. The smile he gave me was all I wanted, all I needed before I could let go and pass onto the next life, never to send another text message again.
I'm left with the question - What would it really be like to be Natsu's phone?
So - this was fun. If anyone has an idea they'd like to see written in under 150 words, leave a review and I'll try it out.
