My internet followers wouldlovethat, and obviously it would be an amazing opportunity.
But not even thoughts of adorable endangered otters are enough to stop me from thinking about that sea freak toying with drowning like it was nothing.
What kind of man has that big a grudge against living?
And why?
“This way. Let’s get out of here, girl.” I jog away from the point so I can no longer see him.
I pull out my phone and check my notifications.
There are a bunch of Insta Likes and comments adding up, plus a healthy trickle of new followers. I swipe past to a few new Discord messages.
I’m in this chat with a bunch of other local people where we hash out new ways to grow and gripe about what it’s like to be an influencer.
Every so often, someone shares a cool new opportunity.
Usually, though, it doesn’t blow up unless there’s something serious going on.
Today, the messages are coming fast and furious.
Too curious, I open the chat and read through the messages.
ClaraDoesChickLit:OMG OMG YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT
MegTea: I CAN GUESS
c h a o s b e a r: what? whats up?
jennineedscoffeeornope: new program? deets?
ClaraDoes ChickLit: RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT
ClaraDoesChickLit: How do you always get it first Jenni? Omg
MegTea: Who did you blow? Like did he taste good?
I wrinkle my nose.Meghan Tea’s whole brand is loud, crude, and she’s never shy about reminding us she’s number one in the pecking order.
I hate that she’s in our group when her brand is mostly self-centered and not based around a coherent niche like cooking or travel or random acts of kindness. Mostly, her videos are the Seattle dining scene, where she gossips about everything banal and scandalous in this city.
Still, I keep reading as the messages pop in.
ClaraDoesChickLit:Ew Meg. F off and find your next story somewhere else.
jennineedscoffeeornope: babe I always got an ear out
ClaraDoesChickLit: ANYWAY it’s a new Young Influencers program with Home Shepherd. Y’know the one with the hot messed up CEO? You guys it looks a-MAZING
I stop walkingto type a message.
DestinysChild:Home Shepherd, huh? The global security company?
Several people start typing again,but Clara responds first. She usually does. I swear that girl has bionic fingers that type at the speed of light.
ClaraDoesChickLit:YES!! I mean, I know I know. It’s kinda weird, but it looks like a really cool program and a great opportunity. Every Seattle library will slay if I get that money
MegTea: Whatevs. You do your little books. When I win, I’ll feed the homeless. #peopleoverpages
