The challenge is to write a piece composed of text messages.
I waited all afternoon,
it was blazing hot
you said three o’clock
I was there
Where were you?
Traffic was hideous
Caught and couldn’t get out
Arrived at four thirty
You had gone
So disappointed.
You lying hound
Cathy saw you in the pub at four
Said you were drinking with mates
You bastard
Standing me up.
Honest truth I was caught up
Tried to ring, no reception
Stopped in the pub to cool off
Saw a mate or two
One drink led to another.
Well you did your dough
No more waiting round for you
Snivelling leach
Got better things to do
See ya round arsehole.
Glad you’ve ended it
Knew I wouldn’t like your attitude
So high and mighty
Precious bitch that you are
Go jump.
I’ll make the Face Book announcement
Short and sweet
Goodbye to bad rubbish
Stick up your jumper
You’re history.

Wonder how many relationships these days are ended via social media?
You did a good job ending this one. Well done on the texting. I’m still a neophyte on that medium.
I think there are many. Then again I never get that far.
Maybe some day you’ll get the “sod off” text . . . . which means you get all the good bits that go first.
Could be sooner rather than later..lol
🙂
Remind me never to stand you up then. 😊 Well done M.
Lol as if you would..
Dumped by text. It figures that would follow after email……….. reminds me of the 2009 film Ghosts of Girlfriends Past where he dumped three by visual conference call!
Good post Michael.
Thank you Di. Have s good Sunday 😊
You too.
That told her! I reckon she literally got the message. Nice one.

Thanks Keith…
Ouch. This is sadly the tale of many relationships nowadays, they last as a social media post.
I don’t get it though, why do people no longer call, and why there is so much less bonding, and why are we nurturing a world devoid of ourselves.
I agree totally….messaging is such an easy way out of so many situations that would turn out better if we used actual words….preferably spoken..
Happy Days!!
Hello Willow, I guess getting rid of a bad relationship is always a plus…..have a good day…
Thanks 🙂 you too!! ❤
Whatever happened to just avoiding each other for weeks or being sick and cancelling 4 dates in a row to get the message across..
Oh how the days have changed.
So impersonal now isn’t it
It is. Technology is helping people avoid the true lessons of life every day! I’m not sure we’re better for it. 😦
I don’t think we are. It allows for too much anonymous nastiness
Agreed. If it is not something we would say while standing in front of a person, then it should not be said at all.
I agree
