Written for Weekend Writing Prompt
where our host Sammi asks us to use
“screen” in exactly 21 words. Also
for Gerry & Sue’s Weekly Prompts
Weekend Challenge – “fruitful”.
Digital detox screen time limit was highly fruitful; it allowed me to finally notice my house had burned down hours ago.

Brilliant, Nancy! I can imagine events on a slightly smaller scale happening on a regular basis.
Thank you for sharing this with our challenge.

Yes, like burning the toast instead of the house, which would have had considerably less shock and awe! 😀 Thanks, Sue; your prompts are always great fun to do and usually go so well with Sammi’s.
