Great to see you back in The Ink Well, @stuartcturnbull. Yes, our phones have taken over our collective consciousness. These little portable entertainment centers never fail to amuse, because if there isn't something popping up with a notification, you can go find a game to play. But as you have discovered, we each must find our own antidote and reclaim our focus.

Thanks for joining this week's creative nonfiction prompt. Please remember that we expect everyone who post in The Ink Well to read and comment on the work of at least two other community members for each story published. Thank you!
