He felt disconnected from his own body. He had walked into the bathroom, started brushing his teeth, and then… He had found the account. His son, Alex, his shy, quiet son, was a completely different person online. It was like living in a hall of mirrors.

He stared at his reflection, but didn’t recognize the man staring back. He spat toothpaste into the sink, the action automatic. He felt like he had been unmoored from his life. He found himself walking back into his son's bedroom, his heart hammering in his chest, and then forgetting why he was there.
