Shot entirely with an LG smartphone over the course of a couple of weeks.

1. ELGIE’S DAY OUT

2. ELGIE….
….was a smart phone who
was maybe too smart for
her own good.

3. …….An opportunity presented itself…..
ONE DAY….

4. …..THE OPPORTUNITY…

5. Elgie saw the light…
SUDDENLY…..

6. She was on the floor and out the door.
BEFORE SHE KNEW IT……

7. She was free
ELGIE WENT AS FAST AS SHE COULD

8. AND HEADING FOR ADVENTURE

9. THE WORLD WAS EXCITING
In a
concrete
kind of way

10. AND THEN, WITHOUT REALIZING IT…
She was
inside.
Something
told her to
head to the
light

11. SHE WENT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
There was a
lot of light.

12. AND WITNESSED MANY ODD THINGS

13. ONE AFTER THE OTHER
Occasionally
A fuzziness
occurred

14. THEN SHE MET……

15. Much less sophisticated, but also
wiser. It was clear that he had seen
his share of action---used often and
put away hard.
HE WAS OLDER, OBVIOUSLY

16. “You have to go back,” he said.
“The world is dangerous, and your
battery won’t last forever.”
“Go now before you end up like me—
cracked screen and an l and r key
that no longer work. I can barely call
Detroit now.”
HE GESTURED HER CLOSER

17. THEN SIGHED
Once, I
was new
like you.
Now I sit
here, roaming
no
more, searching
for a signal to
follow home.

18. She had to get back…….
…..Before it was too late.
ELGIE HEARD AND KNEW THE TRUTH

19. Elgie was lost……
….a babe in the woods…..
……on the carpet,
as it were,
with no direction home
BUT THE TRUTH WOULD NOT HELP

20. SHE NEEDED DIRECTION
“Do you know
the way out?”
Elgie asked the
first person she
saw.
“I am busy
getting tea,” it
said. “I have
no time for
you.”

21. ELGIE WANDERED UNTIL…..
“Can you help
me out?” she
asked.
“Why, yes, the
egg said.
“Which way did
you come in?”

22. SHE HOPED AND HOPED
“I do not know,”
Elgie said.
“Well, it is a
good thing you
found us then,”
the egg said.

23. AND HOPED AND HOPED
“You will help
me?”
“We will write out
directions for you.
It is a good thing
we brought our
pencil.”

24. And ran and ran……….
…..and ran and ran…..
…..and ran and…
well, you get the idea.
AND TOOK THE DIRECTIONS

25. IT ALL WENT VERY WELL, UNTIL….
Uh, oh
Ziggy

26. ZIGGY
“Might you
taste good?”
Ziggy asked
“I don’t know,”
Elgie admitted

27. A DOG THAT LOVED TO EAT
As well as the
occasional joke.
“Just kidding.
I ate a phone
once. Gave
me gas.”

28. You need the Lawn Brain
Out the door…..
…..Down the steps…..
…..To the right
AND HELP WAYWARD PHONES

29. Out the door…..
…..down the steps…..
…..Aiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee
ELGIE TOOK OFF

30. AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE

31. Said Ziggy…..
.….You went left.
I SAID RIGHT

32. And met…..
….The Lawn Brain
ELGIE WENT LEFT….

33. THE LAWN BRAIN

34. “Will you help me get home?” Elgie said.
“Home is where the heart is,” the lawn brain said.
“I have a battery,” Elgie said, “and I think it’s running
down.”
“Why don’t you just call someone and have them pick
you up?” the brain said.
“Doh!!” Elgie did not feel like a very smart phone now.
THE ROAD HOME

35. WAITING TO GODOT
Elgie called
and waited in
the garden

36. Elgie was picked up and promised to
never get lost again. Which made
everyone extremely happy because lost
smart phones are a real pain.
THE JOURNEY’S END

37. No, really, that’s it. Over. Finished. Finito.
Done. Concluded. Kaput.
But subscribe because adventure is everywhere
and who knows when the next one will occur or
who it will involved.
Possibly even you……..
…..Probably not, but anything is possible.
Just ask Elgie
THE END
