sacred texts

Further to pondering session on bus home, I thought I'd ask you all: what is the best text message you've ever received?

It could be the best because it was clever, or funny, or brought momentous news, or was just touching, but whatever the reason, it has probably survived several inbox-clearings because you can't bear to delete it.

Tell me yours and I'll tell you some of mine.

The story ran aground halfway through. The characters suddenly shut up and looked bashful. Thousands of times before, I've stopped at this point. I have folders stuffed with half-stories. Just then some students began to scuffle behind me, knocking over chairs, and as supervisor I turned around and shouted at them. They sat down meekly. I turned my irritation back to the story, forced it through. Finished it.

I admit it, I cheated. I went on after the timer ran out and finished what I wanted to say. It took about a minute and a half. But it would have been a contradiction to leave this particular one unfinished :)
