More More More Novel in a Paragraph

A word of explanation: I am writing a novel where short snippets will hopefully tell a story all by themselves but will also combine with other short snippets to reveal a deeper story. Here in my blog, perhaps once a week, I will share a few snippets, but in no sequence or logical order. That part comes much later.

Virus

First Casey researched “Malaysian women personality traits.” Yan and others had encouraged her curiosity when they asked if Catherine’s cruelty and indifference could be cultural. So Casey goggled the topic. She found an academic study that seemed to be exactly what she wanted to know, but it turned out only to be a study about the study. She tried again. The next click appeared to match her search almost perfectly. She read two paragraphs that explained at an eighth grade reading level that most Malaysian women faithfully care for their marriages, their children, their households. They allow their husbands the freedom to spend as much time as they want with their friends, they are willing and available sexual partners.

It was not until Casey reached the third paragraph that she understood that this was not research at all but a wife matching site; a modern mail order bride catalogue. She clicked out, ready to try again. At that same moment a red box appeared at the bottom of the screen that said ‘Urgent! You are infested with the Trojan 32 virus. You need urgent help. Your records and your passwords are at great risk.”

One day and $ 89 later, the virus had been purged and purity restored. Casey sat on the red couch, acknowledging the irony. “Catherine,” she thought, “are you telling me to butt out of your history as well as your life?” Casey chuckled,“You’ve taken care of the life part, girl, but I need to find out more about why and how you became so important to me.You're gone, but I’m still here, and I need to know what's at the root of all this. I’m looking for the truth, not your revisionist version of it."

Casey chuckled again. “So please for once, Catherine, give me a break and cool it with the fucking viruses.”
