Sally Told me, that she had been at her neighbor Lauren's house and had watched as Lauren typed in a chat room. It looked like a wonderful time Lauren was having.
Lauren had asked if Sally would like to try. Sally said she had sat there a few minutes getting used to the strange way they communicated, but she had caught on quickly and was in no time, conversing like she had been doing it forever.
Sally had the money saved from the garage sale. and she had purchased a computer with it She had a phone line installed. They were luxuries, but Sally felt she could afford the luxury. Plus the computer did provide her with entertainment which she sorely needed. Sally considered conversing with people on a computer much better than secluding herself from the world.
At first, Sally said she was friendly and outgoing, somewhat eccentric, but not so much more than the other people that frequented the room. Then as time drew on Sally started noticing the married men that came into the rooms attempting to pick up the women for affairs.
This bothered Sally, she felt it was necessary to champion the cause. Sally felt she could entice men to want her and lead them on until they were hooked emotionally. Then she would spring her trap on them. Sally would make them feel the pain that she had felt, standing in the doorway of her beautiful house that day. Sally told me she had dressed in her Wicca priestess robes, and took pictures bearing as much skin as she felt comfortable with. Sally then posted them at a home page she had prepared for them.
The trap was set, the only thing Sally said she hadn't taken into account, was that the men in the chat room she frequented were jealousy guarded by the other women. Not wanting another woman that was new in the room cutting in on their action, they set about to undermine her. At first it was subtle snide remarks about her robes, then it grew increasingly vicious. Words about her living conditions, then about mental capacity.
Sally let none of this get in the way and the plan worked to perfection. Sally played an excellent victim, the men flocked to defend her against the onslaught. One day, as Sally was baiting her next victim, a man entered, responding with cheerfulness to everyone.
Sally said she saw him as a potential victim and decided she must talk with him.
Sally took the initiative, she asked him where he was from, he answered from eastern Arizona. Sally said, what a coincidence, I'm From southern Colorado. Sally asked him if he was married, he replied, yes I am.
Sally asked, how long have you been married ? He replied "for 11 months." He asked if she was married, Sally replied no, I'm divorced now. He asked her how long she had been divorced. Sally said she chuckled to herself and responded, for the same 11 months you have been married.
He thinks this is funny, and they begin to talk, His name is George, he says, He is an avid outdoorsman, likes good wine, and is deeply interested in astrology,.
