uble counting zeroes, that is roughly 8.4 trillion. Keep in mind, this number does not include messages sent on social media platforms. This may seem like a large number, but it is only about a third of the size of the U.S. national debt.Since texting is such a large part of global communication, we know there are many ‘stories’ that could be told through those little virtual messages. Your prompt this week is to write a 50-word story that is only told through text messages. You don’t have to go make it look all official by using a fake generator (but if you do, please include the regular text in your story for us to tally the word count).Let’s follow this labeling format so we know who is texting:<p

Write a 50-word story composed of only text messages

I checked my teenage daughter’s phone today. 307 unread text messages. And she had only been away from it for 90 minutes.

The world thrives on texting. There are an estimated 23 billion text messages sent every day. That’s 8,395,000,000,000 text messages per year. For those of you like me who have trouble counting zeroes, that is roughly 8.4 trillion. Keep in mind, this number does not include messages sent on social media platforms. This may seem like a large number, but it is only about a third of the size of the U.S. national debt.

Since texting is such a large part of global communication, we know there are many ‘stories’ that could be told through those little virtual messages. Your prompt this week is to write a 50-word story that is only told through text messages. You don’t have to go make it look all official by using a fake generator (but if you do, please include the regular text in your story for us to tally the word count).

Let’s follow this labeling format so we know who is texting:

DAD: what are we going to get Jenny for her birthday?

MOM: pants.

DAD: what kind of pants?

MOM: ones that don’t accentuate every curve on her 18-year-old body. She seems to need pairs of modest pants.

DAD: agreed.

JENNY: I’m on this thread!

MOM: who is this?

DAD: headed to work now. Love you guys.

Since this is a Pentina and you’re limited to 50 words exactly, we aren’t going to count the names (DAD, MOM, JENNY, etc.) in the word count.

Make sure you mention this prompt in the subtitle or at the end of your story. We can’t wait to read your text messages… I mean, stories!
