So I have my suspicions, which may or may not be directed by the severe paranoia of the weed I just smoked…but I do my due diligence anyway.
@wanderkind
who is this
@inherentvice
I am nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too?
My jaw clenches. There’s only one fucker I know who could be this annoyingly condescending in a fucking text message.
Anonymous profile. Follows me so he’ll know when I come online. DMs ready to go.
This was planned.
I try to take a screenshot of the app, but it gives me an error. Right, VibeFeed was developed withprivacyin mind. Only way I can get evidence of this is with another phone. And I’m not like Blake, with two phones on standby in case one of them dies while I’m doing a trade.
Concerns for later. These messages he’s sending me aren’t the ‘burn after reading’ kind.
@wanderkind
Rooke?
@inherentvice
Would you like it to be?
@wanderkind
BLOCKING
But before I can hit the block button, a new message comes through, and fuck my slow response time because I can’t help but read it.
@inherentvice
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light
but by making the darkness conscious
I scoff, my lip curling into a sneer.
@wanderkind
JUNG AT 3AM? How sober do u think I am
@inherentvice
I’d love to find out.
Something hot and electric andwrongshoots through me. I sit up so fast, water laps around my chest.
“You a’right, bro?” Kruger croaks.
I mutter a vague, “Yeah,” his way.
But I’m not.
Rooke has no fucking right saying shit like this to me. Private DMs or not, anyone could see this shit and?—
