She kept picking her cell phone up fiddling with it.
“Are you expecting a message?” he asked.
“No, no, just trying the apps on my new phone”.
“You seem to be getting a lot of alerts” he said.
“I’m on Twitter” she said, “it’s great!”
He wished he’d never bought her the damn smart phone!
Not exactly fiction as I think this is how MWM probably feels this week. LOL
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

Oh dd you get a new smart phone? did you join FourSquare .... its more fun than Twitter .. IMHO
I don't want a twitter account. I wouldn't know what to do with it.
Great Flash Fifty-five. You are so good at this challenge.
Luckily MWM has one too AJ so he can't complain too much about me! LOL
So you got one too eh G? ;)
Yes I know what you mean Brian. When I'm living life I just dump the blog, facebook and Twitter! LOL
Yes I've got a smart phone Daryl and I haven't a clue what FourSquare is honey please don't confuse me. LOL
I wanted to have a go on Twitter, now I wish I hadn't bothered Pam LOL
i have the phone but only use it for a phone!! imagine that...
smiles, bee
xoxoxooxox
Modern living, eh? I'd feel better if I had my old phone back, it never gave alerts!
I have one, and Mr BC took it on one of his trips to Missouri and I only see it when he starts playing with it.
I know I'm on twitter a lot. Helps me get my writing done. Hard to believe I know. Love my Android phone.
I just wanted to tell you thank you for the sweet words about my tattoo on Daft Scots Lass's blog. I wasn't sure if I should put it out there, but I am now glad I did...and I am following you now too!
Great one as usual!
And this is why I deleted my Twitter account a year ago. I spent sooo much time Twittering!
Have an awesome weekend, m'dear!
X
I don't update my status on FB!
a mute question
It's the opposite for me. I bought the Mister a smart phone for Christmas last year, now he's always playing Mahjongg or something...
a Phone Is Only As Smart As It's Owner!
I got rid of my Twitter account too
I never had anything mundane enough to say!! :)
great work as always
Sometimes I wish I just used mine as a phone Bee!
Alerts can be a pain for sure Valerie!
Ah you know what to get him for Christmas now BankerChick LOL
I'm fed up with Twitter already Nara LOL
Oh welcome Melanie, I meant every word my dear. x
I think I may be deleting mine too before very long Ron ;)
I much prefer FB to Twitter Gautami
Maybe you should get yourself one too Pheromone Girl?
That's true Tony maybe that's why mine doesn't seem to work properly! LOL
I know what you mean Dianne LOL
That is totally how I feel about my husband's phone!
Great 55!
I know the feeling as husband has one. I have threatened to confiscate it at times, it irritates me so much.
As much as I love my iPhone, I have absolutely no desire to get involved with Twitter.
people can't get their eyes away from their phones these days. imagine when battery life improves :(
Can't deal with twitter, I run my mouth far too much and cannot limit myself to 150 characters.
I can understand that Mama Zen. We have settled back into mostly ignoring our phones now the novelty has worn off! LOL
They certainly can be irritating Cheshire Wife - phones and husbands!
We just wanted to see what all the fuss was about SAW - not worth the bother. ;)
Yes you're right Electric Addict, it's only battery life that hinders some people.
I'm used to writing stories in 140 characters so that's not a problem to me Beach but I prefer to write a lot more! ;)
There are indeed way too many distracting apps for phones these days! I use my FB app the most followed by Words With Friends but other than that, I try to leave the darned alone except for texting which I seem to do an awful lot of!
excellent 55,
the last line makes it perfect!
I know exactly what you mean Linda!
Thanks Morning :)
