In the early days of the internet, one particular chat room became a meeting place for people with a very different kind of interest. Among them was a German man who had spent years hiding a disturbing fantasy that was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Then, one day, he found someone online who seemed willing to share that fantasy with him.
