How long...?
How long had it been, 8 months? a year? He'd forgotten. He couldn't remember the last time he lived on the grid, couldn't remember the last time he sat down and used a computer or payed a bill in anything other than cash. He used to have a cell phone, pager, computer with high speed connections, he lived in a nice little appartment, paid his bills on time. He had a blog, wrote a column in the local paper, and was active in his community. Then came the homeland security bill. At first he thought nothing of it thinking that he was just a small time guy in small time world. When the Bush adminastration went to Afganastan he supported it, then came news that they were chasing a fart into Iraq. He was a little perturbed by it. He had read numerous articles all saying that bin Ladin would never work with Saddam. So he started posting on his blog these things, writing in his coloumn, he started calling out the Bushies as he called them he was doing everything in his power to make people aware of the adminastrations faults. Then he started noticing things, his connection seemed slower, his computer was going down way to often for a mac, and he was hearing 'ghosts' on his phone. Maybe it could be explained with the new power lines installed just a month or so. Then came the day that Bush said Mission accomplished on the aircraft carrier. He had been at work in his cubicle when it came on the TV just over his head. He felt disgusted and had to go home. Instead of driving he decided to walk home out the back entrance. He took the long way home.
As he got with in seeing distance of his apartment complex and saw strange looking people coming and going from his apartment. He decided not to press it but decided to watch and try and get closer. he got with in about 20 feet and could hear some of them talking. They were discussing the phone lines and his cell phone. Something about how that model may actually reject the bug. That day Jeremy Tymons became a ghost. He never went back to his apartment, instead he turned around and ran ran back to his car. Where he saw a small car three cars behind him two men on cell phones wearing suits, kinda hot to wearing suits he thought. He got in his car and drove off. He noticed the car was now behind him always staying two to three car lengths back. He stopped in a parking garage and got out. He had been using the garage for a while and knew where to go. He left went to an ATM. He withdrew almost all of his savings and his checking account. He thanked god he never put a limit on that. He noticed the two men were still behind him this time though they seemed to be window shopping. he walked down to a local pizza parlor wherehe knew there was always a cop. After walking in he saw the cop and told him that two men in suits were harassing him about becoming a Jevoha Witness. He quickly walked to the bathroom where there was a window just big enough to get behind the pizza parlor. he looked out the window, god damn road construction it was at least an extra 5 feet on the drop now, so instead of 10 feet it would be at least 15.
