Google doesn't want to keep spell-checker on for English, since I am located in Finland. It keeps resetting and I keep ignoring it, since it basically highlights all English words as incorrect because it's trying to auto correct into Finnish. A poor excuse, though, combined with the fact that I was just moving house over the past couple weeks, leaving me with less time than I'd like to write and read. I also like to have a friend or two read the story first, but none had time to do so.
I had some loose idea about why Matt was the one picked for the streaming. It had to do with the island still recovering from the 2019 hurricane (which was topical on my mind from recent news, and directed me to write this story), leaving mobile connections spotty and weak. Matt was supposed to be some rich idiot with a fancier phone or connection, but the story was already feeling too long for my tastes, so I decided to omit the technobabble. All around the focus was on the self-centered nature of our society, how Matt focused his camera toward himself rather than the event until being reminded of it, how he fails to ensure his own, or anyone else's, safety as he livestreams, reminds people to like and subscribe out of habit, and generally focuses on himself, his ego and on his fancy phone.
