Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

The weekend had been a blur of notifications, emails, and endless scrolling. Your phone was a constant companion, a lifeline to the digital world. You walked down the street, the sound of your phone buzzing and dinging, the glow of the screen reflecting off the pavement. You checked your messages, swiped, and clicked, always aware of the next notification. It was a weekend of constant connection, but also a weekend of constant distraction. The idea of an "Offline Weekend" might seem daunting.
