John Braddock was labeled as a Conspiracy theorist, before the term even became popular, but instead folks just called him crazy, it was years later that the term crazy turned into Conspiracy theorist. He questioned everything, especially the government. It would be years later when the term conspiracy theorist again changed into another meaning… Truther.

A large shipment of boxes arrived at town hall and was immediately ushered into a basement, where only few officials had ever been in. The shipping label simply said “Electronic device’s Handle with care.” Only the higher ups knew about these devices The internet companies around the world were informed that new WiFi instrumentation was to be installed to all WiFi towers, worldwide, and not to switch them on until April 1st… one month from today.

About the author

By day, Aaron Gehrig is a devoted husband and father, painting beloved pets and keeping a home full of warmth. By night, when the shadows curl in, the creature known as Aryn Bats takes over, an alter-ego stitched from ink and nightmare. Together they form a singular force. An indie horror author whose tales gnash with blood-wet teeth and seep under the skin. Gehrig writes with haunting beauty, while Bats writes with cruelty, no restraint, no filter, clawing straight into the darkest corners of the imagination. His stories are séances on the page, gothic and unrelenting, where walls breathe, secrets rot, and nothing stays buried. Readers call him a dream. A nightmare. A rare kind of storyteller who dares to walk into the woods, and return with something true.
