Carnage: Short Story
“It wasn’t completely dark outside, but the sun had been down long enough that the horizon was black against a darkening sky.
Corey, he’d said his name was. But it always took him a few seconds to react to it. Pat doubted now that it was his real name.
And she wasn’t really sure she’d met him on Facebook. It might have been Twitter. Or maybe one of the other social or business sites online. However they’d first made contact, he must have hacked into her computer and found out loads of information about her, because when they’d met, it seemed that within minutes they were old friends. Or at least acquaintances.
It didn’t bother her much, his romping around the contents of her hard drive. Most guys could do that now, and Pat had been guilty of it a few times herself. She didn’t have anything to hide. At least not anything she had put online, so what was the difference? It was all part of the hooking-up game, and at least it was a part you could manage.
