(Inspired by a 30-day yoga challenge at my yoga studio, I'm writing 30 flash fictions in 30 days. One a day. 100 words or less. Time limit: 15 minutes. You can read all of them here.)
I don't have long to live, so I went for a walk along the beach at sunset. When I turned around to walk back, I noticed all the other women who had come to watch the sunset were sitting on the benches and staring at their phones. By then, it was dark, and their faces were glowing from the blue light emitted by the screens in front of them. Finally, I saw a woman walking in the opposite direction who didn't have a phone. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" I cried. "It sure is!" she replied.
