Peter seemed harmless at first, just another overfamiliar stranger. But this felt different, more personal …
It is hard to remember when it began. Years ago now. At first he was an inveterate “liker” on Twitter, and soon this gathered into comments. After a while came a request to follow him back; there was a work-related matter he needed to discuss.
I’m going to call him Peter. It is not his name. In those early days, I could tell very little about Peter from his profile, but he seemed harmless enough; just another of the familiar strangers I had often encountered on social media over the years.
