Mostly you don ‟ t get an answer, or a hysterical one, or a brush-off:“ You must be crazy!”;“ You ‟ re not human”;“ Troll”;“ Not you again!”;“ Fuck off!” Okay lady, I will. This thought keeps running through you head:“ You’ re Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon. You’ re disgruntled. You’ re not the first man on the moon and you haven’ t been to Mars. You’ re always second pick, or maybe last. So you’ re disgruntled.”
During your hobbling search around Facebook you find her. You send the same message you ‟ ve sent ten thousand times before:“ Can we get to know each other?”
This time you get an answer from Emmie.“ You ‟ ve got 175 characters to introduce yourself and say who you are. It ‟ d be great if you could do it in less. If it ‟ s one letter more, I won ‟ t reply.”
That ‟ s how you came to know Emmie
