My friend had no family. She fell gravely ill and begged me for $6000.
I needed that money, but gave it to save her life. She swore she’d pay me back, said it with tears in her eyes, holding my hand like I was her only hope.
Then she vanished.
No texts, no calls, no “thank you,” not even a goodbye. Her number stopped working. Her apartment was cleaned out like she’d never existed. That was nine years ago.
