Text Journey

(Hoping) It’s there.

Oh no! (Small butterflies…)

No way. (Confusion)

Can’t be. (Denial)

Can’t breathe. (Giant butterflies…)

Is this real? (Realization)

What to say? (Panic)

Text, text, text.

Erase, erase, erase.

(Heart pumping fast,

butterflies in the stomach flapping really mad…)

 

Think, think, think.

Type, type, type.

Edit, edit, edit…

No words seem right…

Erase, erase, erase…

Reply later…

Organize your mind.

Control your heart.

It’s just a text message!

You’re not going to die.

 

Breathe, breathe, breathe…

Relax, relax, relax…

(Five minutes of emptiness passed)

 

Wake up!

Think, think think…

Be natural.

Just act normal.

You cannot be seen.

What are you thinking?

Now text…

And there it starts…
