⁂

Easter Monday passed spending time checking email and ensuring that all the phone lines were working properly. We all felt…pending. Here we had somewhat solid and undeniable proof that others were alive, too; one very close, living in or around Geneva; another in one of the countries covered in the Facebook ad campaign which miraculously had generated a click. One click, the most important click ever in the entire world digital history.

The truth was that, in all these weeks, I really did not expect to see any response from the ads campaign: I feared the entire world was disconnected. But I was excited so I checked the dashboard again and again—and all email accounts—almost maniacally. I did not want to go to town and hide in a photo shop waiting for someone to show up. Someone whom I'd waited for almost an entire week already. I wanted to stay with my family when we received a tangible sign, an email or a phone call, maybe both. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Almost 48 hours had passed since that click and still nothing. No signs. My mood changed completely. I remembered those tee-shirts sold at tourist locations: “My sister went to London and all I got is this lousy T-shirt!” I felt the same. All we got was that lousy click.

We did not know what to think. For all we knew, a glitch in the Facebook campaign could have been the cause. If it really was a person, why not get in touch with us right away? I needed to go back to Geneva and see whether whoever had been at the shopping mall was going to resurface again. I could not neglect the survivor who was surely living nearby, and trade that for an email or a phone call that could never come either.

I was disappointed, after all this waiting, the lost hopes, the renewed excitement, and then nothing. Nothing! Why? I urged Mary and Annah to keep a close eye on the dashboard and emails and immediately get in touch with me if…yeah, if. With a sense of betrayal from the entire human race, I left and resumed my sentinel watch at the shopping center.
