Quite a while back I had a dream in which someone filed a missing person report about me. I don’t know if anyone actually did or not. As things stand there is probably only one person in the world who would notice my absence as being out of the norm. Of course if I am absent or not around people are free to make up whatever stories or narratives about me they wish. I am not around to challenge of contradict such narratives. It is most likely that people have plenty to do in their busy lives and I am unlikely to even crop up en passant.

I am not active on any form of social media. Aside from this blog there is no other on-line presence. So by today’s metrics it is a moot point if I exist or not. I could be AI generated or a figment of my own imagination.
In the last year I have had “social” email contact with four people. None of those interactions have had many words. The exchange has been a few emails long.
It could be said that I am pretty incommunicado. There are no business email addresses or ‘phone numbers listed. To date only one person has ever called me on my personal mobile ‘phone – the wife. If anyone calls the land line it is 99.99% sure to be a hoax, spam or a scam attempt. I am not accustomed to feverishly answering telephones. I do not answer.
{These telephone numbers although not secret are not well known.}
I am not affiliated anywhere…
I had a question during the night.
“If somebody actually wanted to contact me, how would they do that?”
Anything official like the police, tax or immigration can easily find me. I am legit in terms of bank accounts revenue and social security. My documentation is all up to date. I am easily to be found in French official records. A UK missing person search would find an old trail, though I do have UK bank accounts. Officially it would be easy to find my two border crossings into the UK last year, to Jersey and Gatwick. The previous crossing was January 2019 Portsmouth to St Malo. We have left Brittany only once inside France since 2019.
Aside from that I have perhaps fallen off the edge of the world…metaphorically speaking.
So if anyone has actually filed a missing person report they never got round to making contact. In France a disappearance needs to be disturbing to be investigated. In the UK it seems easier to initiate a missing person report.
As an antisocial loner it is only a matter of time before I end up in some news report or other…
