A mysterious wave of missives swept America’s phones overnight, delivering largely unintelligible messages from friends, family and the occasional ex.

Black indents give the impression of eyes which draw down an apparent nose and then mouth.

The delayed text messages, inexplicably moving faster than light may have crossed some invisible temporal boundary and as a result were transported into the future where we’re just seeing them now. Proof that the future exists...... Nah. Might make good subject matter for a Twilight Zone episode.
