Raptured Not

September Writing Challenge - Prompt #16:

Do-Over

Last weekend when we left for Yellowstone, I deleted my social media apps and took a much-needed break from the algorithms. I haven’t reinstalled them yet, and I’m not sure when I will. Frankly, I’m too lazy.

While I’ve been off social media, I’ve missed a few important bits of information from the high school. I don’t like how “out of the loop” you get without social media at our school. I won’t let Daisy have instagram, but I suspect she misses out on a lot. After a few days away, I’ve seen it happen first hand but not just regarding school! I also didn’t know that the Rapture was supposed to be yesterday. I found out today after the Rapture didn’t happen. I think I would have known if I’d been perusing social media like normal! 

I wish I could go back and live Tuesday, September 23 over again as a day of speculative Rapture-ing. 

It’s my own fault I missed out.

I’m disappointed. Do you know how many things I could have done yesterday and blamed on the Rapture?
