The Influencer

My message inbox is ablaze.

Ever since I posted the Story, my followers have been obsessed, asking more about the boy who broke my heart. It pays to share, I’ve learned.

They revel in my broken heartedness. So honest. They can’t believe I would share something so vulnerable.

#Authenticity

I create a poll asking what I should do: spontaneous self-care girls trip, or slide into his DMs for revenge.

88% choose the latter. I post a video as I drive by his house. They love it.

I wonder how many Likes I would get if I shared a photo of the gun.
