Well this is weird
A friend of mine is apparently dead. I never met him in person, but we'd talked a lot online in the past few months. He was a raging asshole on the surface, but had one of the softest hearts I've ever met. He'd lost his job, started experimenting with various pharmaceuticals, and frankly, I was getting kind of worried about him... at which point he rather dropped off the face of the earth.
That was two weeks ago.
Today on a board we both frequent, someone posted that he had passed away. No word on how, when, or anything else, just... that he's gone. People are scrambling for details, but none are to be had as of yet.
This is strange - I never saw a picture of him, to the best of my knowledge, even though we spent many hours talking about quite personal subjects. I never heard his voice, I only recently learned his real name.
And yet while I'm still really hoping I get to meet him someday, and this is just one of his crazy pranks gone out of control (again), something tells me he's truly gone. I hope I'm wrong.
