[ WP ] while on reddit , you discover a subreddit all dedicated to You , as if it was a fan base for a show . One of the Post talks about the soon to be Cancellation of your `` Show ''

At first it seemed like a prank, one purposely orchestrated by Marlon. After all, he had somewhat sworn vengeance on me when I last pranked him. But the link was not shared by him, by rather by a friend's friend, which appeared on my Facebook feed when that friend like her friend's post. A subreddit simply by the name of /r/turman_burbank. 
 
 My name. My real life name. 
 
 Which made the whole incident much more strange, because I never used my real name on Reddit. Instead, I used a throwaway account named called /u/dori_lukey. Privacy concerns, if you may. Plus there were a lot of stuff I do on Reddit that I prefer people not to know. Ken Bones taught me that much. 
 
 But I digress. 
 
 You see, what's eerie about that subreddit that convinced me that it was far from an elaborate prank was the number of subscribers it had. A whopping total of 1,235,713 subscribers. Whereas the town that I lived in, Seahaven, only has a total of 24,567 residents from the last census. Even if Marlon had managed to get all the town's residents in on this prank, he's still more than a million people away from the subscribers. 
 
 What made it weirder, however, was how detailed discussions were on the subreddit on my life. The top post of the sub was on my recent engagement with Meryl, and many of them commented on how I should be with Slyvia instead. One comment even mentioned that it was sad to see Slyvia leave the show. 
 
 What show, exactly? I thought she had an urgent family matter halfway across the world, which was why she had to leave? And how did so many people know about my engagement with Meryl? And why should it even be of any significance? 
 
 I got more confused as I browsed through the sub. There were memes of me, photos of me, as if I was followed 24/7, photographed 24/7. I could n't understand any of it. I was just supposed to be an ordinary guy in an ordinary town. Why did the sub made me look like some superstar? 
 
 But what made me most worried, buried deep within the sub, was a simple post of the cancellation of this so called `` Truman Show''. The post claimed to be written by Slyvia, who said that it was against fundamental rights to keep me in the dark. But in the dark about what? 
 
 Before I had the chance to investigate more, the sub seemed to have gone down, an error message simply stated that it did not exist and never existed. Like someone was deliberately stopping me from knowing more. I feel more than confused now about my identity, my entire life. Is everything a lie? 
 
 I called Marlon, asked him about this. But far from being intrigued as me, he sounded worried over the phone, simply telling me to `` sit tight'' and they needed to do something. I worry that it may be more than what I expect. 
 
 And so I am writing this post in a random sub on Reddit, hoping that if the worse do happen to me, at least someone will know. In case I do n't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
