Is there any point in screaming?

You will not care, and you will not tell the truth. I can’t believe you have done these things to me, even when there can be no other reality. I keep wanting you to try to do something, anything at all to fix what you have broken. But all you have wanted to do is walk away as if nothing happened, happy drowning in your Jameson. Happy with your  money and your fancy car and life. After you demolished mine as hard as you could. The cancer ghosting was a new low, even for you.

In the mid-1990s, a new employee of Sun Microsystems in California kept disappearing from their database. Every time his details were entered, the system seemed to eat him whole; he would disappear without a trace. No one in HR could work out why poor Steve Null was database kryptonite. The staff in HR were entering the surname as “Null,” but they were blissfully unaware that, in a database, NULL represents a lack of data, so Steve became a non-entry. To computers, his name was Steve Zero or Steve McDoesNotExist. Apparently, it took a while to work out what was going on, as HR would happily reenter his details each time the issue was raised, never stopping to consider why the database was routinely removing him.
