Don’t you hate it when you are running and you stumble and your phone goes flying through the air and slides a few meters across the floor, then there is that moment in time when your heart just stops! You take a deep breath and slowly, so slowly you walk towards it in a trace like state and pick it up to see if the display is completely shattered. I know I do. Just imagine this.
You get up, ready for a new day. You pick up your phone and text your friends to ask if you all can go meet up, they say yes. You leap out of bed and have a quick warm shower. You feel awake and ready to start a new day. You eat breakfast and look at your phone to see that your friends have left their houses, you’re going to be late! You put on your coat and grab your keys and fly out of your front door. Your favorite song playing in your ears, you start running to the beat of the music and you see your bus up ahead about 100 ft away. You start to sprint for it hoping that you will make it. You feel a vibration come from your pocket, its a text from your friends telling you to hurry up. Phone in your hands running for your life, watching your friends cheer you on from the back of the bus and at that moment you get that weird feeling that something bad was going to happen. You trip over a tree branch and you fall to your knees watching your phone as it crashes down to the ground and slides along the floor. Your friends rush off the bus to help you. You all crowd around the phone which is lying face down on the ground. You slowly go to pick it up and you grasp it and slowly rotate the phone while lifting it. You look at the screen! Your emotions, like the screen, are shattered.
It had been a day since the accident. You lay in my bed, silent. I couldn’t move. Your parents come into the room and asked if you want to go to a repair shop. You immediately say yes quickly while jumping out of your bed bed. You get to the shop and they said that they could fix it, but it will take at least a week or so. You are devastated, but if you could get it fixed, that will be a price that you have to pay.
It has been 3 days without your phone, but it feels like months. You felt lonely, you phone was your world and now its gone. Hours fly and not a thought passes your mind. Your mind is blank

This is shaping up brilliantly. Maybe take it in the direction of exploring the industry around phone repairs and the experience of being without your phone for a period of time – or explore what it’s like to try to use a phone with a shattered screen.
