Checking the phone

Checking the phone

I've found myself checking the phone, pointlessly. I look at a news feed in fear, of another atrocity, hoping to be relieved of having to worry that it's going to happen. The filtered instantaneous written and fact checked; the "How has .....affected you?" column.

And the phone stops ringing.

Two days later, you notice it's on silent. 

Small scale creeping nonsense.
