Subcontracting Texting to an Unemployed Fortune Cookie Author

Struggling to keep up, he had turned all his texting over to an unemployed fortune cookie slip author. The good news is that he was then able to keep up with texting chains. The bad news is that his texts were increasingly ambiguous and subject to interpretation. Weirdly, this seemed to provoke the most interesting and revealing text responses he'd ever received. Ambiguity, he'd learned, was an invitation to confessions. When one's own state of mind was increasingly opaque, it seemed to provoke revelations.
