Chapter 4
86 likes later I was bored. We might as well had posted a cocktail pic. The only one still excited was Billy. I was so bored I actually took the time to read the messages unknown people send me. They are usually just greasy comments from guys, sometimes disturbing or provoking. One of the messages was different. It was actually a tag on my selfie from my bedroom. It was “#erinyes”, coming from a guy named Prodromos, with a Greek π as his profile.
“Who are you? What is this you tagged on me?” I IM’d.
It didn’t take long for him to reply, “Change your path, it’s not too late. They smell regret before it even happens.”
What was this guy talking about? Why would I have regrets? “What are you talking about? Why would I have regrets?” I said as if I had thunk it.
This time it took longer for the reply, which did not help the crazy guy’s case in my mind. “You will have them soon. Don’t let them take shape,” he said, and logged off. Fine, I wasn’t planning anyway on talking to the wacko any more.
Then I noticed that the face recognition had drawn one more square next to my face on my selfie. That face was the one Prodromos had tagged as Erinyes, not mine.
I’m not sure if Billy had any luck getting to Deppy, I guess there was some rapport but I wasn’t paying attention. Coffee time was over and we split up.
