Jim, I can confess to you now that this site was just an elaborate conspiracy to freak you out. Great work, everyone! Your checks will arrive in 6-8 weeks.

On a serious note, I didn’t write this story with it in mind, but having felt at times as if I were a mark in a similar operation or game may have subconsciously fed this one.

The elaborate effort to mess with someone’s sense of reality seems cruel and excessive. There is no indication that there is some goal of justice or revenge being meted out. The women seem like evil latter day maenads. Or, is this a parable about coordinated gaslighting. Congratulations Zac, you have freaked me out.

Thank you so much! I can’t tell you what a huge compliment this is.
