Thanks! It just felt like the most logical extension of the prompt at the time for me, and a really unexpected twist. "You don't get it, that prompt yesterday? It happened. And now, someone has to deal with the consequences"

Interesting. Well, that confirms an earlier thought of mine from a different thread. I was in the middle of a conversation asking for a source from someone, and then discussing it, and the moderators nuked the entire discussion.

That would have been my first guess. I guess your post was a bit out there. I'm not interested in rereading it, but did you save a copy at all? I always think it is a shame when we lose the only copy of what we worked on, even something as... unique... as your post :P

Any reason you deleted your prompt? Did Mr. Ye's lawyers contact you?

Sure!

I just didn't want the link to be visible when people were reading until they got to the end, and also to explain how it connected to the current writing prompt if they missed the previous one.

Almost a year ago, I received a piece of paper in my mailbox that read "I know what you did 5 years ago". It was simple enough to track down who put the note in my mailbox between the number of hidden cameras outside my home, and a short period of time later, I had my neighbor unconscious, tied to a chair with a bag over their head. Typical stuff. They insisted the whole thing was a prank, but I couldn't take the risk they were telling the truth. It's a shame, kind partner, nice kids, I really liked them.
Since then, I've moved, changed my name again, can never be careful, you know? At least, that's what I thought until a day ago. At my new job, a co-worker showed me a post on Reddit, they thought the whole thing was hilarious, and I half heartedly laughed. For the first time since I took this new job, I told my boss I had to leave, said it was an emergency. And I didn't lie, it was an emergency. I just didn't realize how rusty my hacking skills were. Took far longer than it ever should have, but I did it.
What happened at that blacksite was between three people, my neighbor, myself, and God. For almost the last year, only two people knew. Then the internet knew. And now? Well, once something is on the internet, everyone knows, but I think I've done enough to where it should be back down to two.

Take it easy there big guy... Yeah, you are a bit taller than normal today.
They gave you this mushroom too soon, huh? Still haven't worked out all the bugs with it? There there, we'll get it out of your system shortly. Yeah, we have the head of the nation on the phone right now, and she would like to see you soon. Says she's making you a cake right now actually.
You'd like to change your suit first? Well which one? You have a variety of nice ones, and some unique animal ones too.
Alright Mario, take a deep breath. This is gonna hurt a bit, but we need to make sure you lose the fire flower and mushroom. Worst case scenario, we have some green mushrooms right here. Now just close your eyes and...
