Stalking the old fashioned way
by Paetram



The Age of Legends was known for its wonders of technology, not the least of which was something closely resembling our modern email. The following text was recovered from an ancient Comm log belonging to a "Mierin Sedai."



from: msedai#collamdaan.comm
to: lightbringer#servants.comm

hey lews. did you get my last comm? i don't think you did because it's been a week, and you haven't written yet... well, anyway, it's dull here at the collam daan. this "bore" experiment is so bore-ing. ha ha. hope to see you at the assembly next week.

-----

didn't you see me yesterday? i waved at you in the restaurant, but you didn't seem to notice me. you must have been distracted by that girl you had with you. i can tell she's not even interested in you, lews. i give it two weeks.

-----

hey. the other day i noticed you going into that trollop's, sorry i mean woman's, apartment. i wasn't following you, of course. just happened to be passing through there. do you like her?

-----

i'm so bored. there's nothing on the viewscreen this evening. why don't you come by, lews. i'll be waiting for you...

-----

what did you mean by that? i am not creepy.

-----

restraint order! i hate you lews. i'm never speaking to you again!

-----

ok. i know we've had our ups and downs, lews, but i'm ready to start again...



[So, it's probably more-or-less obvious I got the idea for this one from that astronaut love triangle thing on the news.]
