Wordle #1086 – CROWD
I emerge from the closet and shut myself in the bedroom—as far away from the crowd of reporters as I can get—yet I still hear the occasional doorbell and calls for me to show myself. I sigh, booting up the iPad.

My mugshot is everywhere. I stare into the camera wide-eyed and bewildered, my mouth slightly open, like a mounted bass. That dang t-shirt emblazons “The Killer” across my chest, and my hair is so poofy, it escapes out the side of the photograph. Looking good, Cecilia.
I’m trending on Twitter and TikTok. I have my own hashtag. I’ve been dubbed the “Crypto Killer.”
