Faster Than the Speed of Life Chapter 1: First Light
Elgin, Illinois May 2013
I walked all the way to the end of the train then, quick, turned around and walked back. That blew his cover. The guy following me kind of jumped, got a what the f— expression on his face, then recovered and nodded like a polite stranger as I walked past him. But for that brief moment of eye contact I knew, and he knew I knew.
I walked up the hill to my apartment and spent the day laughing in an isolated sense of victory.
See, I had a feeling that because of my blog, they’d put a device somewhere in my apartment that allowed them to read everything on my computer. So as a test, I journalled an elaborate plan involving a Chicago church and Father Horne. I tapped details about it on my keyboard knowing the spooks were reading every bit of it and freaking out, I even emailed myself the journal to “save it in the cloud,” and make sure they’d read it.
Then that Sunday morning at the Elgin Metra station, I blew their cover.
It felt good to out-trick them. “What, did they think I was going to do, throw eggs at a church?” .
Heh heh.
