The story of Forward in Ten Minutes

It always arrived with a subject line stacked with forward marks and a cute poem about a lonely star. Then came the rules: fifteen people in ten minutes and your crush would call. Ignore it and your homework would vanish. Kids forwarded it to their whole address book, which was mostly aunts who sent it straight back.

Fun fact

The email had been forwarded so many times that the actual message was hidden under three screens of old addresses.
