Day Six - Squirrel Carcass

There really is a withdrawal process! I always got the sense that this life in this body on Earth is basically a green screen and getting out of social media kind of feels like confronting the green screen rather than the images being projected onto it. No one has noticed I'm deactivated. At least no one contacted me outside of FB. In fact I specifically told someone I deactivated my account and she forgot the next day. My dog once caught a baby squirrel and killed it. The other squirrels didn't miss a beat in their squirrel day. The only thing that changed is that they had to hop over the tiny carcass here and there. My grayed out profile pic indicating that the account is deactivated is that squirrel carcass right now. An actual childhood friend who is currently a FB friend, recently had his account hacked. I knew immediately when he said he was selling crypto, something he'd never do. He is very popular on FB because he is very vocal about his political opinions, and sort of holds court in a very socratic manner. So he engages like minded people and polar opposites. So I messaged him and the hacker responded. I asked what street he grew up on and suddenly the account disappeared entirely. No one seemed to notice he disappeared! I made an announcement on FB asking if anyone had actual human contact with him and not one person responded. Even he was the squirrel carcass.
