The Magnificent March Challenge

150 years ago, on a cold day in March, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. This has inspired my choice for this month's challenge: Include the word "communicate" (or derivatives thereof) in your one perfect sentence.

The rules are simple:

  • Each entry must be ONE sentence only, as defined by the basic rules of English grammar. We will notice if you squeeze unrelated clauses together and pretend it's a sentence, so please don't do it. Your entry will be disqualified and removed.
  • Don’t comment on other people's entries – this makes the thread far less readable. If you’d like to make a comment – or if you have a question – then please do so in the Café Life thread under the “One Perfect Sentence” prefix. I will keep checking the thread to answer any general questions. If you have a question you don't want others to read, please private message me directly.
  • You can make as many entries as you want to, but only your entry with the greatest number of votes will win a place (and Litbits).
  • IMPORTANT: You MUST make your entry anonymous by ticking the “Posting as Anonymous?” box. Entries that don’t do this will be removed.
Voting will close midnight (BST) Sunday 5th April. Good luck and get writing! :writing-hand:
 
The little white dalek looked different somehow - and it was repeating, as if to itself, "Communicate, communicate, communicate...'

'Ah-hoy,' Alexander shouted down the line of his new-fangled communication device, only for Thomas to heave a huge sigh, This malarky will never catch on.

Jacinda took a last swig of the slightly saline spirit as the comms wailed a relentless beep-beep-beep, red lights flashing across the hull, and swallowing the gulp said, 'Santi saw everything, this is how life ends.'

I didn't get past "Deeply regret to inform you..." before the communiqué burst into flame in my hands.
