The Deletion

Episode 2 of 3

By Laura Dockrill. Self-deletion - after setting up an account, how hard is it to truly quit the network? Read by the author.

The second of three short story commissions on the theme of social networking.

"It soon becomes apparent that I don't need to even see Emma White's account because she's sprawled all over my ex's page like spilt bleach. I decide my next move is self-deletion."

The Deletion, by Laura Dockrill, shows how reliant people are becoming on social networks and makes us wonder whether, after setting up an account, it's ever possible to truly quit.
