The erased message

A trusted contact sent me a short Signal message today: “Something’s happening at Meta. Be careful.”

Ten minutes later, it was gone. Not deleted — erased. Vanished from both our phones, as if it had never existed. His history log was spotless. Mine too.

We tried comparing screenshots, forwarding the message to a third channel. Nothing. It was like the warning had dissolved in acid.

But I remember. I always will.

Original message (copied before it vanished):

[09/17/2021 13:06]  
MSG: “Something’s happening at Meta. Be careful.” 

If this snippet changes, we’ll know they can reach even here.
