Thanks to Bryan Wiler for playing this literary game with me! Here’s his “phone story.” A story about someone riding a bus, telling some poor sap about a guy named Randy Clam—that friggin name!!! Gold stars just for that!

If you would like to play or needed a writing prompt to get you started on a new story. Please try this literary challenge. Write a short story/micro-fiction about a phone. Try to include as much physicality and movement as possible in it. Make a phone move, make it dynamic and heart breaking! Make it anything but stagnant. Make it fun!
