Episode 1: THE JUDAS CIRCLE -
When the Ones You Trust Try to Rebrand Your Trauma as Poetry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He came and posted a soft message about life and classmates.
The Chief Gaslighter did.
He forgot to mention the part where he helped erase a man for 28 days…
and sent us all in the wrong directions to keep it that way.
He knows himself. They all know themselves, however many they be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They said he was fine.
They said he needed space.
They said,
“He’s not missing.
He’s just unwell.
Hes taking a well deserved 'rest'.”
And they said it with such calm confidence that you would almost believe it.
Until you realize it was all a game of smoke and mirrors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Disappearance. A Wall of Silence. And Then… a Poem?
Engr. Tony vanished for 28 full days.
Not a word. Not a call. Not a trace.
His so-called friends... men who were supposed to be his brothers-in-arms, his “day ones”.... fed the rest of us a strange cocktail of delayed updates, false leads, and awkward laughter.
Then the truth began leaking through the cracks.
Behind the curtain of friendship lay a web of deception.
Some of the very people who were supposed to search for him were instead part of the cover-up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They kept us chasing shadows… while Tony was behind a 12-foot wall in what he now describes as a drug rehabilitation center, not a hospital.
Definitely... not a holiday venue.
And just when we thought silence was their final act of betrayal…
One of them posted a poem.
"Same Room. Different Futures."
That was the title of the Chief Gaslighter’s post.
A slick piece of prose about classmates and life’s different paths.
> “We wore the same uniforms,” he wrote.
“We were marked by the same red pen.”
“Some of us carry titles like 'Doctor' or 'Entrepreneur.'
Others carry labels no exam prepared us for:
'Depressed,' 'Unemployed,' 'Gone too soon.'”
He ended with:
> “If you’re still here, still fighting, still showing up—
you are doing better than you think.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Hypocrisy Dripped Like Poison
How dare you write about people “gone too soon,”
when you were part of the silence that could have ended with a funeral?
How dare you tell others they’re “still writing their chapter,”
when you tried to rip the pages out of someone else's book?
How dare you post reflections on life and struggle,
when we had to dig, dig, and dig to find the truth about a man whose pain you helped bury?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We Watched You Rewrite the Narrative
We "heard" your phone calls. The gaslightings.
Three times, (in a meeting I was not invited to), he later mentioned MY name to gaslight me for no reason.
My crime? I had encouraged a grown man to exercise his free will to convert a "burial" group, into a "friendship" group. Right there, in that moment, I guessed traces of deep rooted jealousy!
We all saw your WhatsApp messages.
We tracked all of your misdirections.
We felt the tension in our bones when you said,
“Relax. He’s okay. Just give him time.”
Time? TIME...!! Time???....
For 28 days, we thought we were on the same side, fighting for a friend.
Now we realize we had also been fighting against his Judas Circle.
This Is Not Just a Story.
It’s an Autopsy of Betrayal.
