conversation as a text message conversation. I have started this for you
below as an example:

Ferg: Hey Unk. The scenery is unreal today, how come we


live down in the shadows in Drumleash? Why didn’t you
ever leave this place? It’s depressing ☹

Unk T: I know it’s really beautiful by the coast… but I find it


a but depressing there too…reminds me of death ☹ Please
I’m so used to this place, be scared to leave really…
