AnneYzzy is very upset. Nobody is commenting her articles lately.She's been fanning almost everyone, but only a few fan back .She created twenty plus Sock-puppets to increase her fan club. She even comments her own articles with her Sock-puppets ,praising herself, congratulating herself, in order to make the line of posts look larger. And sometimes she misses it. She misses her way among all the different alter egos. And this makes her go crazy ! Sometimes she doesn't know who she is anymore!
Today she's commenting on her 'Let me alone !' article about a badly broken relationship. Among the four real fans that posted there, she posts her comments. She's been drinking and getting high,so the screen seems blurred and a bit bent to the left.
She posts as BlueLilllies:
'AnneYzzy, Thanks for publishing such a wonderful article! I can relate ,as I have been through a lot, during my eight year old marriage. In the end I met a lawyer who saved me from that misery. We've been happily married for three years now !'
Anne reads what she posted. Yeah ! Looks credible ! Real stuff! Good!
So then she posts as JohnDoe69
'I love your new pic Alexia! Oops, I mean Anne! I will be sending you some articles that will be of some use to you about this topic. See you later Alexia!..I mean Anne ! Sorry !'
She stops for a moment and frowns her brow. What was she writing about ? Confused, she stretches her arm and gets the Absolut Vodka and drinks from the bottle.
She looks again what she has written. What JohnDoe69 has.
Yeah ! she likes it ! Alexia.... what a beautiful name ! Her name ! That's how Desmond used to call her. Alexia.... Alexia....
She copies it and pastes it on the answer to herself. Or is it to JohnDoe69, or to Des ? She posts it one time... two... six...eight... ten times ! She can't stop ! She loves it ! Alexia... Oops, Alexia....
She feels relieved. Liberated. She starts to laugh. Everything is OK. She goes on commenting, thanking the real posters and her sock-puppets alike. She feels good. Everybody loves her !

Maybe tomorrow, if she's a bit sober, she will realise what gross mistakes she has done. Maybe she will find out about this revealing comment.
Or maybe not.
It's not relevant. Everybody knows she's been through a lot . That she's not well. They can forgive her. Won't they ? Of course they would ! 'People are caring and comprehensive', she will convince herself.
And she's right!
Because, would someone pay attention to that small blunder ?
She thinks not.
In the end, what has she to lose ?
she has lost everything.
As she has lost her mind.
She turns around and looks at the empty white wall in front of her. She smiles. Her creepy void smile .
It's a deadly turn.
