Emojis

She was dragged out of her house by two officers without any explanation and thrown into the back of a huge, white truck.
Inside were at least fifty others. They seemed to be of every demographic - men, women, young, old, black, white. Physically they had nothing in common and she wondered what everyone had done.
The truck trundled along and they were thrown this way and that as it bounced along a road clearly not built for trucks.
Eventually they came to a standstill and the doors were opened.
Other trucks were arriving too and everyone was escorted out and made to stand in a line in front of a long wall. A black car with tinted windows arrived.
There was something sinister about the whole situation.
What the hell was happening?
"Attention!" yelled the man from the black car. "You might wonder why you have all been brought here. It's because you haven't followed the law."
What law? What was he talking about?
"As of yesterday the use of emojis is forbidden. You have all used emojis in a tweet or text in the last 24 hours..."
How ridiculous. Was this some sort of elaborate joke?
"...and are therefore all sentenced to death."
Hundreds of shots rang out.
