He looked like a left-handed sketch of Vin Diesel.

Isolation is good for the imagination...

My brother lives in São Paulo - Brazil, which is not known as a safe city to say the least. One night, he said in the family group chat that he was dining out and I didn't think too much of it. The next day when I reached my phone to text him about something I saw right below his name "last seen on 21:36" and got worried. I called my dad to see if he talked to him, tried the phone tracking app and nothing. My imagination went berserk at this point, in my mind he got robbed and killed and I'm taking a few days off work to fly there and identify his body. This went for a good long hour before he called me and said that his phone was died so he left it charging and forgot to turn it on.

After reading your newsletter I believe you're right. We have to think that everything is fine and we get carried over sometimes by our anxiety. I blame the TV series and the movies.
