Today, I am sharing a character guest post.  Enjoy!

My name is Tanner

I’m afraid… terribly afraid, and I don’t care who knows it. My name is Tanner and I’m about to be a whistleblower, a snitch, an informer. I have good reason to be afraid because my boss will use all of his resources and all the resources of his company to stop me. He will kill to keep his intentions secret.

I know something about him he doesn’t want the world to know.He’s evil, pure evil, and he has people around him who have sold their soul to that devil. They will kill for him. All he has to do is pick up the phone and give the go-ahead.

The problem is that no one realizes he’s evil, hiding it so carefully behind a scrim. Nobody will believe when I tell them what he is planning to do.

I’ve thought about it, nonetheless. I’ve thought long and hard. When I whisper his secret I will be at risk, my family will be at risk, and it will extend to anyone I tell.

I was never sure what he saw in me when he sent his recruiters after me. Sure, I was way ahead of my classmates. I could design and administer communications technology in my sleep, which I often think I did. Claussen thought he knew all there was to know about me, but he didn’t know the real me, what was hiding inside.

In my position I could access all communications, even the ones Claussen imagined to hide behind his own privacy screen. It was one of his Emails that caught my attention. It hinted at a plan, really a conspiracy to undermine the country by instigating widespread social unrest, causing a demand for safety at any price.

But there was far more. He wanted to go beyond that to begin eliminating those he deemed unfit to live in his perfect world. I know enough about history to know that isn’t a new idea, but his plan had some new versions of how to do that.

I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to blow the whistle. I only have to decide who I am going to tell my story to.

Tanner
