It is a well known fact that you are not paranoid if you know they are out to get you.
Peter Sternschmidt was definitely not paranoid.
In fact, he was so un-paranoid that he was a lot more likely to be permanently silenced than he was to get a chance to tell anyone about it, or be believed for that matter.
But he had, finally, decided that it would not be for lack of trying.
He had sent emails to people, who had promptly dropped of the net. The few he had had a chance to investigate seemed to had dropped of the face of the earth as well. Hard copies got lost in transit, or the recipient had suddenly moved to an unknown address.
So now he'd started mass emailing, first everyone he could think of, then moving on to setting up his own mass-emailing system and purchasing lists of e-mail addresses. He had tried to contact news agencies electronically and with pretty much every kind of hard copy short of stone tablets.
Now, he was leaning back in his desk chair, in a cold sweat, scratching his five-day stubble and briefly wondering what they would do to all these people. Would his spreading circles of information mean the end of civilization?
Doubting that they could actually get to all these people was beyond him at this point.
