It sits there, baiting me to pick it up in my hand - that little red rectangular box with the curved angles. It has already buzzed like a, I don’t know, a giant bee perhaps. The box buzzes again and the screen lights up reading “New Text Message from Nick H”. What’s a text message? I have never heard that term before, but it interests me. I press the center button to see what it does. It opens the “Text Message” and it reads “Hey Colin wats up” on the screen. I think “what the heck". Now, I’m going to examine it. On the front it reads ‘Samsung’ and ‘Verizon’ with a check mark. Under 'Verizon' there is a number pad with numbers 0-9 and a # and ✻ . I have no clue what they are, so now I’ll turn this object around in my hand. It’s surprisingly heavy for it’s small size. On the back, there is a mirror with a circle within a circle under it. Now I twist it again and I realize it slides open on the side and there is a pixel picture of me throwing a baseball, as I think it’s called. Now, I slide it back to center. After studying the keyboard, I accidentally push a button on the side and the phone speaks “Please say a command!” “Yikes!”, I say and throw the phone across the room. Then my mom comes in and says “Colin, Why are you throwing your phone?” Then, it all comes back to me.
