Ghosting

By Martha Carrillo

Where did he hide? Why did he run away? Why didn't he show his face and say, "This is as far as I've come?

"At first everything seemed like a fairy tale. From the moment I met him he was incredible, detailed, seductive, generous. We immediately began to be intimate, to talk about our worlds, our concerns, about what we were passionate about. Little by little he became so present in my daily life, that it was practically a necessity when I woke up and opened my eyes, to pick up my cell phone and look for his greeting, his good morning, the "I woke up thinking of you".

That's how more than a month passed. We did not know each other physically, he contacted me through the networks and although we had no friends in common, his audacity, his lightness made me open up, telling him about my life, sharing photos of my reality and he of his.
