The discovery struck David like a punch to the gut. "The Diary of a Dork," the headline declared, accompanied by an embarrassing photo of him from high school. His diary, filled with adolescent fantasies and dreams, was now a source of amusement for the internet.

David sat in the darkness, the only light the blue glow of his computer screen. He spent the next few hours meticulously researching every person who had liked or commented on the article. He was a master of information retrieval, and he had become very familiar with the internet.

He crafted a series of anonymous emails, each tailored to the individual. He sent them to their places of work, their families, and their friends. He made sure that everything was completely anonymous, and that it would take years to trace it back to him.
