It happens to the best of us writers: Your phone thinks it knows better than you. Now, it’s your turn to take the frustration of auto-correct and play out the scenarios that ignorant technology haphazardly creates.

Your mission this week is to craft a microfiction story about the funny, unintentional, or disastrous consequences of auto-correct.

Bonus claps if you include a screenshot! And if you’d like to make a screenshot to go along with your story, you may find some inspiration from an older prompt.

Don’t forget to include one of the following tags with your story:

6wordstory for stories that are exactly six words long
Pentina for stories that are exactly 50 words long
Centina for stories that are exactly 100 words long
OneSentenceStory for stories that are told entirely in one sentence
PostcardFiction for all the rest, stories that are 250 words or fewer

Happy microfiction crafting!
