Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 23, 2015

C’mon, Ralph. They are supporting you in your effort to exercise.

I don’t think the group is responding to Frank’s exercising. They are just interrupting his activity with insipid responses to each other to keep the conversation going. It probably doesn’t help that Frank isn’t in the “hive mind” demographic (pre-teen, teen, maybe early 20’s) that participates in group texts, so it looks like he’d be more the “outsider” target of the group than participant.

He could stop answering his phone every time it chirps.

Ralph actually out jogging without a donut in his hand? Must be some kind of alternate universe situation.

Repeat after me, Ralph, turn the phone off!
