Unread Message

A distraction acrostic

By Kelly BelmontPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Ding! 1 Unread Message.

Icons counting higher, higher. 1-2-3-4-5-6

Still counting onward…

Torment. Torture. Ding. D-DING. DING! DING!!!

Red numbers. Growing. Growing

Always on. Always present.

Connection binds like chains.

Tight, suffocating, crushing

Impossible to stop. The noise surrounds

Omnipresent. Relentless. Droning on – on – on.

No escape. No peace.
