This person completely assumes a fake identity and goes the extra mile to make their victim believe that they are exactly who they say they are. It tends to happen a lot in online dating.

My good friend, Dean Kuch and I wrote two books of horror haiku, available in fanstory or Amazon. Now, when I write my own horror haiku I always think of him. For the new fanstorians, Dean was an excellent poet/author who passed away last year. He was loved by many in FanStory.

Thank you for reading me.
