Elliot had always felt overlooked. In his small town, he was the quiet one, the one whose name barely surfaced in conversations. He spent most of his time on social media, where he could manipulate the narrative and control his image. But over time, that wasn't enough. Elliot grew envious of others who seemed to have it all—their friendships, their popularity, their success. His bitterness brewed, and soon he concocted a plan to ruin them.
He created fake social media accounts, posing as anonymous figures, and began spreading lies about those he envied. With a few cleverly crafted posts, he painted their lives as full of scandal and deceit. He watched with twisted satisfaction as the people he targeted saw their reputations crumble. It was easy, too easy, to play puppet master from behind a screen.
But karma, as it often does, is swift. It started with a whisper. Someone noticed a pattern in the accusations, a strange similarity in the language used in the fake posts. A few sharp-eyed friends of his victims began to investigate, tracing the digital fingerprints back to Elliot’s accounts. His anonymity shattered in an instant.
The town turned on him. Friends abandoned him, social media platforms suspended his accounts, and his reputation was irreparably damaged. Elliot was left isolated, a pariah in a world he once thought he could control. The loneliness he had always felt became a constant companion. In the end, the very tools he used to destroy others only brought about his own downfall.
Elliot’s life, once filled with potential, was now a miserable echo of the harm he had caused. Karma had returned, and it was a bitter reminder that no one escapes the consequences of their actions.
