00:00A woman casually snapped a selfie, swapped out the background, and posted it on social media.
00:04She kept posting that kind of photo over and over, and little by little, people started assuming she was always
00:09traveling.
00:09Even her favorite influencer began following her, but in reality, Anna was sitting on her bed, endlessly scrolling through her
00:15phone.
00:16The next morning, she was jolted awake by a flood of notifications.
00:19She grabbed her phone, and watched her follower count skyrocket.
00:22She was over the moon, convinced it was all thanks to her stunning photos, but the truth came out fast.
00:27The place she claimed to be vacationing had been attacked.
00:29Nearly 40 people had lost their lives, and the suspect was still on the loose.
00:33All the police had was a blurry photo.
00:35Her followers started fearing for her safety, and her DMs blew up with messages.
00:38Then her parents called, their voices shaking with worry.
00:41Anna told them she was fine, but before she could respond to her followers, she froze.
00:45She knew that if she came clean now, everything she had carefully built would come crashing down, so she posted
00:50saying she was perfectly okay.
00:51To make the lie stick, Anna rushed to the airport.
00:54When her parents spotted her there, they completely broke down.
00:56She spent a few days with them, but couldn't quiet the noise in her head.
01:00She finally decided to take a real trip, but when she stopped to take some photos at her destination, she
01:04noticed.
