"... she's a flight risk."
This blog/story is reaching the tipping point.
Girl on the run or manufactured interactive storytelling? Fact or fiction? Real-time saga or future screenplay? Either way, it's an excellent experiment in online storytelling and the Internet's ability to blur the lines between fact and fiction.
I'd look for the mainstream press to get interested in this story (soon) for two reasons. 1) Fact-finders will try to get to the bottom of the story and determine its veracity. 2) The entertainment media could soak this story ... Real or not, this thing has screenplay written all over it.
While it reads like fiction, I'm far from certain. The story is being hyped (written???) by Sean-Paul Kelley, aka The Agonist ... the same guy who plagiarized some of his Iraqi war updates from Stratfor’s paid news service. More on that here.
... she's a flight risk is long (and getting longer with every post and comment), but if you really wanna know what it is all about, you kinda need to read it (and the related comments) from the start. A nice evening's reading, if you're interested in that kinda thing.
