Message from a Stranger

by Ellen Pepper

Hi there! I'm John Williams and I live in Sudbury.
I've been reading your posts and I'd like to meet you.
You're so funny and smart and your avatar is hot!
I'm not married or anything. No kids.
How would you like to meet for coffee?

Hi again! It's me, John.
You haven't replied. Have I said the wrong thing?
It would be great if you could send me some pix of yourself.
Just doing normal things like washing dishes or bathing.
Nudes would be really nice. I could send you some, too.
By the way, I drive a Subaru!

Hi! Still waiting for your reply. It's been a few days.
I'm pretty rich, you know.
Everyone who knows me says that I'm a nice guy.
I could show you a really good time.
Let's start by meeting at a cafe?

It's me, John again.
Okay, I wasn't completely honest when I said I'm single.
I've kinda been married for 17 years.
3 kids - all teenagers.
I have a dog. He only has 3 legs now due to the accident with the lawn mower. I thought it was turned off.

Look, my wife doesn't understand me.
And she's gotten fat and sloppy since we met.
We haven't had sex in 8 years.
I don't think she'd mind if I took my sex needs elsewhere.
Ok, I don't have a Subaru - I drive a Kia.
So, how about it? Want to meet up?

Hi, it's me, John.
Yes, you blocked my other account so I had to make this new one to ask you why you blocked me?
I've been open and aboveboard with you.
The least you could do is hear me out.

Ok, I'm not rich. I'm not married.
I'm in Kingston jail and will be for 12 more years.
They say I killed 8 women but that's a lie.
Those women died of natural causes.
I'm a nice guy, everyone knows that.

I'm allowed visitors. You could stop by some time.
Ok, my name is not John Williams.
It's Thomas Bledsloe.
I used to be a welder.
It's lonely in here.
Please don't block me again.
