About this listen

In the near-future, there might be detox centers for people addicted to technology. This short listen asks: What if a teen snuck her phone in? And what if everything in the outside world has changed…or gone silent? For fans of Station Eleven.

Tori Telfer is the author of the true crime anthologies Lady Killers and Confident Women.

Interesting

I really liked this and would have liked it to be longer. It would make a good film!

Terrifyingly believable

Powerful short that imagines the end of the world viewed through a mobile phone screen. Creates a whole world and sets up believable characters in just six minutes! I wanted to read more!

Not Using Your Phone Feels Like the End...

A rather fun flash fiction about a device detox retreat and a possible end of the world.

The writing and performance are both pretty great. I just didn't find the concept (or rather what was done with it) particularly effective or engaging, but I was left intrigue to read more of the author.

interesting, but could have been longer

the idea is interesting, but i think i would have liked it as a longer story, i felt it had potential for more. like this, it somehow felt too short and incomplete. would have worked as at least a more developed short story, maybe even a full short novel.
