Literature Smartphone Puzzle


The smartphone
Imagine you found a smartphone. You open it, you don't have to enter a pin… Who could it belong to?

Chat
You open the Chat and see this conversation...
Unknown Number
Hello old sport, it's been a while. How have you been?
I've been fine, thank you. How's everything at your mansion?
The parties are as grand as ever. You should come by one evening.
I might just take you up on that. Are you still longing for the past?
Some things are hard to let go of, especially when they mean so much.
I understand. Sometimes it feels like we're all chasing dreams, doesn't it?
Indeed, but some dreams are worth chasing, no matter the cost.
I hope you find what you're looking for. See you at the next party, old sport.
