Ghost in the machine

For obvious reasons, I will no longer be contactable telephonically. Or via email. Or social media.

I think I managed to move enough cash around to survive for a while, until I can set up a new identity. Had to drive around all night, access online banking from different locations, draw cash from various ATMs. Stocked up on canned food and bottled water before I destroyed my credit cards.

If you’re reading this, I’m sorry about the car. I had to get rid of mine. Yours was unlocked, keys in the ignition. Looked like you’d just popped out to grab a sandwich from the garage shop. You should be more careful.

Like me. These posts weren’t made through my real Facebook account. People have to be warned. But I couldn’t take the chance of doing it under my own name.

Please take care online. No matter who you are. All it takes is the wrong post on social media. A moment of anger. Then they’re onto you.

They know who you are. They know where you live. They know what you do.

And they are everywhere.

Don’t worry. This was just the end of a short story called Book of Faces. I’m fine.

I hope this little series helped to relieve some of the boredom associated with the Corona lockdowns. If you want to read the whole short story, it will be released across all online retailers (including Amazon) on the 1st of May. Available on preorder now, for only 99c.

Or you can get a sneak pre-sale copy from Smashwords.

My personal finance book, Hard Money, is free till the 4th of May. On all platforms except Amazon (different promotional rules, but you can still get a Kindle version from other retailers). It might help people and businesses start to recover from the economic devastation caused by worldwide lockdowns. And help prepare for the next one.

Till next time, stay safe.

Cheers.
