This is about the new age relationship outlook, the way things have changed over the years and is just gives us an idea about how dreadful things could be in the future.

Kindly keep your comments coming, would really appreciate it, and would love to know whether this made any sense to yall at all.

“Hi. I wntd 2 tell u smthng. I jus dnt knw hw to. Da thng is, I gues we shld break up. It’s vry hrd fr me to say ths, even though we were 2gthr fr so lng, I jus dnt feel anythng btwn us anymre. U r a nice prsn. B hapi, whtvr u do. Bi”

“Wht? Wht da hel r u tlkng abt? Sudnly u dnt feel anythng 4 me? All ths aftr u hav hd sex wth me? U bastrd. Fine. I dnt wnt anythng 2 do wth u eithr. FUK OFF.”

“I m sori. I jus cnt prtnd anymre. I jus dnt wnt 2 lead u falsly u knw. I jus dnt dsrve u. pls 4gv me”.

“Oh pls! u pathetic loosr. Surely u dnt dsrve me, coz u dnt even hav da decncy 2 call me & tel me tat we r dne. Dnt evr tlk 2 me agn, or shw me ur fkng face. Do u gt tat”?

“I wnt bothr u agn. I m sori, 1nce agn”.

“U r bng NICE? Reali. Oh, I m touchd. Jus buzz off b4 I kik u in da nuts. Nice…rgt. Real smooth. God I dnt bilive I fel 4 u. Thnk god I m out of dis shit.”

GASP ! “And this is how he broke up with ya”.

“Yeah. Over the cellphone. Can ya beat that? After so much time of being together. This is what the jerk does to me. I was furious that he was dumpin’ me, but I was seething coz he was doin’ it like this. I mean, no respect at all”.

“Let it go gal. Let’s go and get you a nice lil drink and you will forget all bout that retard”.

“Ya, I deserve a lot better. Retard, that’s was he is, sob ! sob ! sob!”

“Here, have a screwdriver.”

More about how shallow some people are. 
 
Even though I don't do text messaging - or rather I do, but I do it properly - I did understand your piece straight away. They say competent readers generally only look at the first and last letter of words anyway. 
 
Interesting experiment. 'm afraid the story did nothing for me on this occasion though. Hopefully other reviewers will feel differently.

Great idea, to write it in chat-language, complete with (deliberate) typos. I too think the story itself wasn't very special, but I don't think that would be necessary as the message came accross clearly.

Thought this was a good idea. With the others on the substance of the story - didn't really do a lot for me but an interesting concept nevertheless

yeah i totally agree that the story was nothing special, and the story was never really my priority actually, it was more of an experiment to write something in chat language. It was just to show the pressent state of affairs, about how shallow and cold hearted some people can actually be. I am glad you liked the idea. Thanks for the kind words.

It came across well, but again I have to say that the story was a bit shallow. Work on the idea and I will be looking out for a sequel!
