I don't know which is the more compelling reading: the poem or the prose reaction. They work together but as the poem demonstrates, the actual fate of this individual is unknown. And in the poem you point out there is no closure; also, the situation is a kind of limbo. All of which makes for an unsettling feeling in the reader, an unease about things we take for granted, like the internet, like accounts at YouTube et al. It's a brave new world we're in, and no doubt there will be many other mysteries like this one over time. BTW Kwaye AKA Ash Flame sent me a message yesterday. Give him my regards. I was impressed by the poem the two you co-wrote. There was a lot of raw energy in it.

A mystery indeed. I feel I may have to investigate further, Nika.
