Cute story. It’s funny, succinct, and immediately secures the reader’s sympathy. Who HASN’T fantasised about going back and taking a photo of a dinosaur?
Also, the hero’s cheerful optimism really provides a sense of character.
Welcome back, BA! Great opening line. The whole thing is so matter-of-fact, the character so unaffected, reminds me of the way smartphones make us apathetic to the world around us. ’ Oh well. At least we have Candy Crush…’
I agree with all of the above. The way you took ‘application’ to make a punny twist on this challenge and then played up this unaffected but hopeful character is genius.
