Siren’s call
And then my laptop lit up like a fairground attraction, with alarm bells and whistles going off, alerting me that somebody had hacked into my laptop. Over 500 Trojans were active inside my computer, a pop-up warned me. Also worms. Instead of replying to Queen Tracy, I sent a message to the website moderators telling them that I suspected Queen Tracy of being a computer hacker with a novelist’s imagination. A few hours later the moderators replied that they had ascertained that my assertion was indeed true, and that Queen Tracy’s profile had been taken down and that they apologised for any inconvenience. No bother, I replied; even a fantasy relationship via email with a Nigerian hacker is better than nothing.
