Neospective
(Noun & Adjective: something known or described as being new when it is actually quite dated)
Advertising Copy:
Here is the newest addition for the modern home: the modern rotary connection device. Arriving at our offices after a long and detailed discussion over form, features and price, we decided that what you really need is a communication device that will not disappear when you most need it; will be available in one specific location in the home; and will be available for generations to come!
With a simple open-face design, you will be able to rotate on each number to actually communicate with each other. And the numbers are each aligned with three-letter fragment from the alphabet, making it easier to remember contacts, and providing a means for children to memorize those ABCs (watch as they enjoy hundreds of hours practicing without a push from you)!
The device also comes with a cord to provide you with a secure means of keeping you listening and speaking device in one location. With a curly design, this can also provide you with hours of entertainment to both your children and the curious cat (our studies prove as much)!
Please enjoy and keep in mind that the neospective look will always be with us and that supplies are limited*.

Shadows and Light
He grew up in the soft hum of stained glass, where sunlight through colored panes made angels dance on the walls. The church was a fortress, its rituals a rhythm that promised safety. Prayer was a language he learned before he could read, and faith was a comfort as sure as his mother’s hand.

Museum pieces sadly. Those days we did not have so much to talk about. What happened, i wonder. We cannot stop yakking.
I wonder how much these sell for now...
The curious cat! Hahahahahhahaha! I loved the irony of this whole thing! Awesome word and story!
This was a really fun story, Kendall! I clearly remember playing with one of those phones as a kid You're absolutely right about that cord, I used to play with our wall phone's for ages. Speaking into it didn't matter, I just had to have that cord.
Ah, Kendall, did you just phone this one in? Doesn't matter. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
