Monday Challenges from D.Buzz
>> Round 116 << | >> Win 10 HIVE<<

Hello friends.

The year 1982. The first compact disk player hit the market, Michael Jackson was rocking the music charts worldwide, and the first artificial heart was installed in someone. It was a magical time to be alive.

On September 19th, 1982, in a computer lab, computer scientist Scott Fahlman was about to revolutionize the social media world as we know it. Scott suggested that :-) and :-( could be used to substitute speech.

"Scott Fahlman's emoticons importantly used common alphabet symbols and aimed to replace language/text to express emotion, and for that reason are seen as the actual origin of emoticons." Source

It's hard to believe that the emoji has only been around for 40 years. In such a short time, they've become an integral part of our lives. Whether we're sending a text, posting on social media, or just sending a quick message to a friend, we've all come to rely on the emoji to communicate. They've even been known to start entire conversations!

A sentence only in emoji is something that is becoming more and more common in our society. With the rise of social media, people communicate more and more in emojis. While some people may see this as a bad thing, we see it as a fun challenge. We enjoy figuring out what people are saying when they use only emojis. It's like a game to us.

With that ;) on hand, let's get to today's Monday Mission!

Oh the emoji, 8> them all day long!

Today's challenge

Can you write a short story using only emojis? 😊 Let's see if we can tell a story using only these little symbols. 😉 Once upon a time, 🌟 there was a beautiful princess 💃 who lived in a faraway kingdom. 👑 She loved her kingdom and 💖 her subjects, but she longed for something more. 😕 One day, a dashing prince 🤴 came to her kingdom and swept her off her feet. 😍 They rode off into the sunset 🌅 and lived happily ever after. 😄 The end!

Yes, for today's Monday Mission, let's attempt to tell a short story using only emojis to celebrate Emoji day!
