Beth

I can't believe this. I simply cannot believe it.

I drove over to the address I had for him, and as I pulled up in front of the house I got the most eerie feeling. Something in my gut was screaming THERE'S SOMETHING NOT RIGHT HERE!! but I couldn't pinpoint it.

I walked up to the front door and knocked. No reply, not even a stirring to indicate maybe he was inside trying to avoid me. I looked in the garage windows and there was no vehicle to be seen. I checked around back, and when I looked through the window in the kitchen door I saw...well, nothing. No furniture, no appliances, no curtains, even. Just empty space. Even the ceiling fixture was gone, and the wires dangled like plastic spaghetti.

I could see through to the next room, and it was just the same. The wallpaper was still on the walls, which somehow surprised me, but other than that it appeared from what I could see that the place was empty.

I guess I leaned a little too hard against the back door, because it opened just then. I cautiously stuck my head in and called out "Hello....neighbor...anybody home?" Of course there was no reply, and by this time I had no idea what I would have said had there been one.

I walked in and my footsteps echoed strangely through the empty spaces. The kitchen. The dining room. The living room. The bedrooms, bathroom and even the study had been completely emptied. I was afraid I would find a body, and I was also afraid that I wouldn't. Strange how the mind works.

I walked up to the front door and was standing in the entry hall looking back into the empty house when I saw it. A single piece of paper, the only sign any living thing had ever been there. I picked it up as if it were an ancient artifact that might turn to dust on contact. I wondered for a minute what to do, and ended up getting the hell out of there, taking the paper with me. I don't think anybody saw me.

I almost left it in the rental as I pulled up to the airport. I stared at it the entire flight home. I'm attaching a scan I did of it.

I'm off to fix myself a stiff drink. Call me later if you want to talk, but I understand if you need to be alone. I will always be here for you.

Phillip

Not your fault - I should've checked the site myself instead of just reading the forum! Wink
Now, if that's a business card, it's one of the weirdest/coolest business cards I've ever seen!

 		I would have to say a phone number too, since other Metacortechs numbers have been area code 702.

Also, has it been noticed before now? The top item in her Personal: list is "new pswd: the hardest to learn".

Oh, God, it's Oct. 1st coming to haunt us!!!! Twisted Evil

Very Happy

Well, I noticed the 7 in the upper left corner first, and I thought it just looked out of place. From there, I just continued around the picture. So, who's going to call that number?

 		Alright, I dare other people to call that number. I did and someone answered and I chickened out Embarassed. Not sure if it's an in-game phone number or not Smile

EDIT: Ok, so don't. Google answered my question:
