Almost a year ago, I received a piece of paper in my mailbox that read "I know what you did 5 years ago". It was simple enough to track down who put the note in my mailbox between the number of hidden cameras outside my home, and a short period of time later, I had my neighbor unconscious, tied to a chair with a bag over their head. Typical stuff. They insisted the whole thing was a prank, but I couldn't take the risk they were telling the truth. It's a shame, kind partner, nice kids, I really liked them.
Since then, I've moved, changed my name again, can never be careful, you know? At least, that's what I thought until a day ago. At my new job, a co-worker showed me a post on Reddit, they thought the whole thing was hilarious, and I half heartedly laughed. For the first time since I took this new job, I told my boss I had to leave, said it was an emergency. And I didn't lie, it was an emergency. I just didn't realize how rusty my hacking skills were. Took far longer than it ever should have, but I did it.
What happened at that blacksite was between three people, my neighbor, myself, and God. For almost the last year, only two people knew. Then the internet knew. And now? Well, once something is on the internet, everyone knows, but I think I've done enough to where it should be back down to two.

Try a little something called 'trust' next time!

Exactly. "A little trust goes a long way."
The less you use, the longer you survive.

Could you write the censored bit without the censor?
For some stupid reason this thread collapses whenever I try to click the censor

It's just the link to the 5 years ago prank post from yesterday. It did the same thing to me the second time I tried hitting jt

I just didn't want the link to be visible when people were reading until they got to the end, and also to explain how it connected to the current writing prompt if they missed the previous one.

Nice job.

I like that you combined two good prompts to create this!
puromento t1_jcij60h wrote
Thanks! It just felt like the most logical extension of the prompt at the time for me, and a really unexpected twist. "You don't get it, that prompt yesterday? It happened. And now, someone has to deal with the consequences"
