The news landed like a slap. "Sarah's Teenage Musings Now Online!" It was the title of the article. Sarah was livid. It was her old diary, filled with everything she had hoped no one would ever see.

She immediately changed her profile picture on every social media platform to the image of the person she suspected had done it. Then, she started a campaign, asking her followers to report the website, and to send abusive messages to the person she had identified.

She watched the comments flood in, her heart swelling with an emotion she had not felt in years. She had built a war machine.
