I received an interesting email today. Reddit is now offering a monetary exchange for karma earned on the website. $1.00 per link karma point and $2.00 per comment karma point. Which means by my calculations I’d earn over $10,000. That’s enough to get caught up on the mortgage and have some left over in case I get 3 months behind…again.
I’ve clicked the link to convert…I’m hoping this is real!

I received an email back from Reddit and this is seriously messed up. You have to sign an NDA before you can read the terms and agreements. I mean come on, it can’t be that big of a company secret as to what you have to do to get this money. I worked really hard to scour the interwebs to find the cutest kittens and puppies to post on /r/aww!
I’m annoyed, but for ten grand, I think I’ll sign this damned NDA.

I don’t even know where to start. The bank stopped by today to warn me that next week they will be bringing foreclosure papers. I then received a phone call from my bank saying they will be closing my account because my account has less than 5 dollars in it. How am I supposed to write out bad checks to cover my utilities until Reddit delivers?
I really hope they get back with me soon.

A man came to my house today with an envelope. The envelope was blank on the outside and had the security wrapping on the inside. The man said nothing. He handed me the envelope and walked away. The guy reminded me of a Men In Black character. Dark suit, dark glasses, hell even his watch was black.
I opened the envelope to find several folded sheets of paper. When I unfolded them though…it was weird. At first I thought I saw writing but then it all disappeared. Every page is blank. What’s stranger is that the paper doesn’t feel like regular printer paper. It’s thicker..I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean. Maybe I got pranked by Reddit…

Holy shit…I don’t even know what I just read…
I’ll write more later when I get a chance to process this through.

I’ve never seen paper like this before. The paper literally fell apart when I picked it up this morning, but what was weird is a new piece of paper was between the pieces that fell apart. I don’t know how to explain it any better than this but it was like the real paper was between the 2 pieces of blank paper.
As I read the letter, addressed to me, I knew something was off. The ink disappeared as I was reading. It was like the paper knew what word I had just read and removed itself from the page. I wish I couldn’t remember what it said. I’ll write the paraphrased version tomorrow..it’s late and I still need to think about what it said. Only a few more days until the bank comes with papers and I don’t know if I have much of a choice anymore…

I woke up to no lights or water. The shower sputtered and spit at me before finally draining the last of it’s contents onto the tiles below. I was a bit more than angry and it made me understand that I needed that money more than I needed my dignity.
The letter said I would receive the $10,000 plus a bonus of $2,000 upon completion of a single task. I had to record a murder with me being the killer. It didn’t say how it was to be done but it did say I had 72 hours to complete the task or I would forfeit the money. The paper is now completely blank and the outer papers have dissolved into near nothing.
My phone was the only thing I could use to record it, and I know I only have a few hours left to submit it to them. I still remember the sub to submit it to…/r/murder.
Speaking of phones, it’s ringing, I’ll write more when I figure out what I am going to do.

Omg, I did it….I fucking did it…I killed someone. I think I’m going to be sick…
My boss, or should I say ex-boss, called me and told me I was laid off. I snapped. I don’t even remember going to his house, but I recorded it all…from my grabbing the knife from the kitchen to me knocking on his front door and stabbing him in the chest. 15 times I stabbed him…I counted it out loud in the recording.
I apparently even uploaded it to the sub-reddit…
Fuck…I hear sirens, this may be the last entry for a while.

This will be my last entry. I’m turning myself in. I saw on the news today that a group of hackers broke into Reddit’s database and sold the data to a group known as Scavengers…
I wasn’t pranked…I was set up and there is no proof that it was done. My email was hacked too. All my emails are gone from “reddit” and the letter is still blank. What the fuck did I do…
