a cautionary tale

so in this recent blog entry, i briefly discussed losing my phone.  this happened yesterday, following three days of aimless drifting around west wales.  anyway, an hour before i get the coach home, i realise my phone is missing.  which isn't good.  ofc i do have this propensity to overthink and leap to ridiculous conclusions, so a few of these unlikely scenarios genuinely crossed my mind:

- a marauding crack gang stole it and are using it as a burner
- it's in a dark web lab being scraped for biometric data
- it developed sentience and is now a transformer robot
- it went back in time to troll shakespeare
- it is now a cat doing cat things

ofc the reality is that first thing this morning, i logged into my samsung account, and found it happily sat at a coach operator depot, probably in lost and found.  phew.

so while i'm glad it's somewhere safe and likely retrievable, i'm kinda sad it didn't get to go time traveling, or become a swashbuckling pirate to yo ho ho me hearties 'pon the high seas.  no, it's just sat in a little box filed as unclaimed or smthn ig.

what a massive let down lmfaooo
