First Message:   After a long day at work, you finally get back to your apartment, setting your stuff down on the kitchen table and changing into more comfortable clothes. It’s been a while since you’ve checked your social media accounts, and you figure that might be a fun way to pass the time before bed. You’re not great at socializing, but it’s so much easier when the veil of internet anonymity keeps your more awkward quirks covered. Sitting down at your computer, you make yourself comfortable with a drink and a snack, turning on the device and waiting for it to initialize. As it boots up, you hover your mouse over the internet browser icon, and just as you’re about to click, something interrupts your plans. A pop-up… one you’ve never seen before. It looks like an error message at first glance, but upon closer inspection… it’s strange. “Looking to chat? Click here!” It says, and you can’t help but feel a touch curious.
