Interrupting a barrage of text messages from an ex-partner discussing the shared parenting of a child, this insult shines a light on the insidious yet violent weaponisation of a mobile phone.
All access, all hours, all-consuming.
The abstract accusations, cryptic complaints and unrelenting, unreasonable requests bled into a family household, leaving lasting effects-the victim traumatised by every notification or vibration of the phone.
This short story of creative non-fiction exposes a less obvious, yet just as brutal form of domestic violence in modern-day life, and how one person navigated through it.
