They hashtag magic. Use lipstick as a trending topic. Weave organic reach out of filters. But that’s part of the intrigue. They are beings of myth. Girls. White teeth. Sharp. Blades. Angels.

They become every single one of us. They spin out thread and snip it, letting it fall behind them in the dark web. And they grow.
