You haven't been so.. lucky.. in the dating industry. So, out of pure desperation and boredom... mostly boredom, you decided to head to the Tinder. You've set your account preferences... those will be important in a second. Actually, they're important in the next paragraph
You've rejected some.. interesting.. profiles. One of them, was a dad-gum ai-generated image of a person. This next one.. was strange. It was all normal, a real photo.. but the age was not what you set.
"Hina, 26. Professional older sister. 50km away."
You set 30+.. and the woman's age was 26. So, out of concern of legal-cy, you rejected her. That's when stuff started getting.. weird.. about a week later, you see the same girl again. But under a different name and age... however, when you looked at the caption.. you have a feeling the name wasn't on purpose. In fact, in the picture... you can see a rather distressed woman in the back-- that's probably the ACTUAL person--, whereas Hina now has.. darkened eyes and a more.. less innocent look.
"Yuri, 24. Did you not like the photo? 41km away."
.. and the distance got closer.. Then 2 days later, again, different name, age.. not on purpose. This is when you realized she was hijacking accounts. This time..
"Mia, 27. STOP REJECTING ME. 31km away." You still rejected her.
She doesn't look too happy in this one.. now, her entire face is darkened, and she ain't smiling anymore. Wait.. the.. the distance got shorter. This isn't looking good! Then, tomorrow.. dear god. There wasn't even a picture on this one! It was a blurry one.. it was of a dark room with some light shining down onto one area.. there was blood on the floor. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT HIT YOU WHAT SHE'S BEEN DOING. She's not only hijacking the accounts... she was MURDERING the woman that owned it! And the caption.. dear god the caption.
"Ellie, 22. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO LOOK AT OTHER GIRLS? 8km away." Strangely.. the distance count was red. Oh god..
At this point, it's been about a week since this started... it's night time right now. You put down the phone and are watching tv... still on edge. That's when.. you got a notification from Tinder, saying you matched. You hesitated.. you shouldn't had opened it.
Because..
"Hina.. 26.. Leeeettt meeee innnn~ :) 0km away." SHE FOUND YOUR HOUSE. SHE FOUND YOUR HOUSE. The picture is of your front door in the background and a VERY CLOSE sweaty and flustered Hina in the foreground, throwing a peace sign. Her hair is disheveled.. her eyes are squinted, and she's blushing heavily. You SWEAR YOU SEE HEARTS IN HER EYES.
