Here's my story.

PASS THE MESSAGE

"Breaking News! There will be a country-wide total blackout starting next week. It will last for the entire month!"

The crowd of Gen-Z’s made various reactions.
The social butterflies of them frantically screamed, expressing their despair. Their whimpers echoed in the covered court, annoying the Millennials, the Gen Xs, and Boomers II.
“Blackout means no electricity.”
“No electricity means no Wi-Fi!” cried one.
“No Wi-Fi means no socmed!” yelled the another.
“What socmed?” the announcer asked over the microphone.
“Social Media! Duh!”
“No socmed means no life!” another one cried. “We’re doomed to live a boring life!”
And the extroverts cried louder. “No mobile phones! No Netflix and chill!”
“This will kill our social life!”
The rest of the crowd, including the Gen-Z introverts, remained unbothered. They were the bunches who could live without electronics.
“We can always read books or paint,” one introvert said. “We can tell stories by the bonfire at night, too.”
“We can always enjoy ourselves with good old stories,” a boomer said. “Of course, talking with others is fun if there are beverage and snacks.”
“We, millennials, can play our old games: tug of war, patintero, and tumbang preso. Nothing beats those games!”
“But how are we going to communicate with friends from far away?” One Gen-Z extrovert asked.
“Don’t worry. The government got you! Each of you will be given a dove that will help with the exchange of message!” the announcer said.
“BORING!” the extrovert crowd booed.
“Sounds fun!” the rest rejoiced.
**
The next day, all the government officials handed one dove per person depending on the number of members in a household.
“We’ll do this the old way. If people in the past were able to enjoy their lives despite having no technology, we can too.”
Since then, the morning sky is filled with flying doves. The avians were able to fulfill their task of keeping a peaceful exchange of messages.
No war had social media war occurred since then.
The citizens only exchanged message with the people they know, and so, no crimes had ever happened.
Without social media, cyberbullying no longer happened. No individual had ever felt insecure or worthless. No bullies had trampled over other people’s feelings and made fun of other’s physical appearances.
Doves had always been a symbol of peace; thus, with them being the bringer of messages, peace prevailed across the country.
