The City Has Pulled The Wool Over Our Eyes But No Longer!

I know some of you noticed the silence and wondered where I went and why the posts stopped and whether something finally got to me. I want you to understand that I was not hiding because I was afraid but because I was being followed and I needed to make sure they did not get close enough to touch me. I saw them after the last post and I knew instantly who they were because no one else moves with that stiff Euclidcorp posture. I watched them from a safe vantage point while they prowled around the public wifi spot like confused animals. I had already left by then because I never stay in one place after posting. I always move and I always watch.

My operational security is not simple and it is not something a corporation can crack even with their magitech toys and their Aether sniffers and their pathetic little surveillance charms. I use proxies that bounce through places they cannot even imagine and I access the net through random points that shift every time I breathe. I have layers of misdirection that would make a cryptomancer cry. I have decoys that look exactly like me but are not me. I have shadows that walk where I do not walk. I have systems. And even with all of that they still found the location of the last post within minutes which tells me they are reading every word.

I have been thinking about the Mole People again and the thoughts will not stop coming even when I try to sleep because the tunnels feel like they are under everything and maybe even inside everything. I keep wondering if they have public transportation down there because the tunnels must be enormous and winding and confusing and I cannot imagine them walking everywhere unless their legs are stronger than ours which they probably are. I picture strange underground trains that run on glowing stones and maybe they hum in a way that makes your teeth vibrate. I imagine the Mole People sitting quietly in those trains with their enormous eyes blinking slowly in the dark. I imagine the tunnels stretching for miles and miles and miles until they reach places that no human has ever seen. I imagine the trains never stopping because the darkness never ends and never forgives.

I have news. Real news. The kind that makes your stomach twist and your skin feel too tight. A source I trust came to me with information that I cannot ignore. I have been pacing for hours trying to decide how to write this because the implications are enormous and terrifying and absolutely undeniable.

The power company is planning to install new junction boxes into the electric grid. They are not announcing this publicly. They are not filing the usual paperwork. They are not even pretending this is routine maintenance. These boxes are arriving quietly and being moved at night. My source saw one with his own eyes and he said it did not look like anything used in normal infrastructure.

Four days ago something happened that the city is already trying to bury. I have been watching the police reports closely and I know when something does not fit the usual pattern. Officers were dispatched to an alleyway after multiple calls reported gunfire. The callers said they heard shouting and then a strange wet sound that did not match anything they had ever heard before.

When the police arrived there was no one there. No bodies. No shell casings. No signs of a struggle. Only pools of black goo that looked like oil but moved in a way that oil does not move. The officers tried to cordon off the area but the goo had already begun to evaporate. It left behind a smell that people described as metallic and rotten at the same time.

There was a theft last week. You probably didn’t hear about it. The news buried it under stories about traffic delays and weather anomalies. But I’ve confirmed it through three separate sources, none of whom know each other. That’s how you know it’s real.
