Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields who provides us with a photo prompt. Each week’s challenge is to write a 100-word story inspired by the photo. Click here to play along or just read more stories.
You Look Fadulous!
“Greg hasn’t been the same since he got his phone attached to his face.”
“Of course, he hasn’t. He had his cell phone surgically attached to his face. How could he possibly be the same?”
“I just mean that he’s different. Like, he seems different. Like, he’s cooler… and hotter.”
“Because his face is now a cell phone?”
“Not just. I heard Kim’s gonna do it.”
“This is a stupid fad. Everybody’s going to regret it by this time next year.”
“I’m gonna do it.”
“I highly recommend you do not.”
“Yeah, you’re right… but I’m gonna.”
“(Sigh) Me too.”

Not just look like. It takes a special kind of idiot to participate in some of these fads.

Dear Nobbin,
Our cell phones have become appendages anyway, haven’t they? Clever, yet disturbing story.
Shalom,

In my first book, The L Squad, I have a character compare something to an appendage “or a cell phone.” Thank you, Rochelle.

Recharging must be a nightmare. Already, people appear to be so attached to their cell telephones it seems they are oblivious to their surroundings.

I didn’t even think about recharging. Good point. It would be funny if someone were out in public when their batteries died, and they couldn’t function.

I really enjoyed the dialogue. This was a very entertaining way to highlight the absurdity of fads at any time in history. I’ve always thought the next thing to come along would be a phone chip implanted in our brains, the screen easily accessible before our eyes. Very clever story!!

I’m sure you’re right about the chip. We are well on our way to achieving oneness with our phones. Thank you.

That’s one thing I do not wish to do! I’m told the Japanese are experimenting with a tooth implant phone! Whatever next?
Here’s mine!

If cell phones lead to brain tumors, I’d hate to see what happens from a tooth phone.
