(EDIT: THERE ARE SEVERAL UPDATES FOLLOWING THIS POST)
---------------------
Sam: Hey, are you busy?
Amberlyn: Not really. Just folding laundry and bingewatching crap I've already seen a thousand times. What's up? It's late for you.
Sam: Yeah, something is kind of freaking me out. I don't know. I'm probably just being stupid.
Amberlyn: What's up? Don't tell me it's the eclipse.
Sam: No! There's plenty of doomsday loons around here, but I'm not one of them. This is different.
Amberlyn: Just tell me already, girl.
Sam: Well, when you're on Facebook, what kind of ads do you see?
Amberlyn: I don't even look at the ads.
Wait, I guess I do see ads for these chocolate-covered blueberries I get from the vending machine at work.
Sometimes if I google something while shopping it will show up for sale on my feed. Why?
Sam: I mean, I normally don't look at the ads either, but I've been getting some really weird ones on the side bar and in the middle of my page. How do they know that you like those blueberries?
Amberlyn: I'm guessing the bastards at the vending company sold my account info. Their machine has cameras and lets you access your balance with a thumbprint. Thanks, now I'm paranoid too!
Sam: I wish I was seeing blueberries. The ads are super creepy.
Amberlyn: like?
Sam: There's one for "military grade" night vision goggles that's always on that strip on the side. There's a ton for weird gadgets that are "discreet" and "tactical." I also get ads for Cabellas all the time.
Amberlyn: The hunting and fishing place? Weird. What else?
Sam: Amazon links. Stuff I would never read. Like, "The Field Guide to Knots." "Modern Military Tactics." "Prepping for the 21st Century and Beyond." Weird shit.
Amberlyn: What the hell have you been googling? Is your son using your laptop?
Sam: No! He's been with his dad all summer. I just started noticing this crap a few days ago. Besides, he's a lovable little nerd. He's not into things like that...I don't think.
Amberlyn: Hold up. What about that guy you were dating?
Sam: The weirdo I met at the farmer's market? We only went out twice and that was once too many. He was never near my computer, thank god.
Amberlyn: I'm a veterinarian. I really don't know much about computer stuff. Maybe get some technical support from the FB site or something?
Sam: I just logged on to my email and it's the same! I'm staring at an ad for a book called "Lockpicking 101."
Fuck. My spam folder is full of porn links!
Good christ, it's all S&M.
Amberlyn: You definitely got hacked. At the very least, I think you should change all your passwords.
Amberlyn: Sam?
Sam: Oh shit. I feel a draft but I know I didn't leave any windows open. Shit Shit.
Amberlyn: You're just freaking yourself out. Everything is fine.
Sam: The dog just ran into the kitchen and he's losing his mind in there. I don't even want to go look. I'm heading to my car.

Amberlyn: Sam? I haven't heard from you in awhile. Everything ok?
-12:45 am-
Amberlyn: Hello?
Amberlyn: I'm getting worried about you.
-1:28 am-
Sam: It's O.K. Every thing is fine. What is your address? I am feeling a little frightened and I would like to come see you.
Amberlyn: You know where I live. What the hell are you talking about?
Sam: Just tell me.
Amberlyn: I'm calling 911.
Amberlyn: The police are coming
