Crazy thought

“OK mister, do I have any distinguishing features?”

”Not really, Don...”

“Aha! Gotcha!”

”...unless you had your shirt off and we could see the deep scar on your right shoulder blade!”

Dammit! This seemed to be getting me nowhere. The hoaxer had all the answers, all the right answers. So much so that, combined with him sounding exactly like the Aidan I’d known, I even allowed myself the crazy thought that maybe it was Aidan, for real! But that was absurd... I knew he couldn’t have been alive.

There was one way though that I could find out for certain.
