I knew this was gonna be an outline for a short story or from a movie or something.
Because you went too far with the "Nobody seems to miss them. No place seems to be "home" for them."
How would you know if they're strangers, Steven King?
I have an ex BF with NO evidence of himself in the world except a 5 year prison sentence for a traffic accident and a social security number. With no earnings. You wouldn't even get a grunt out of him.

They have no social media. No pictures. Nobody seems to miss them. No place seems to be "home" for them.
They can act normal. Polite and civil. But you can´t help havng the feeling that this person has no past.
Maybe they are a coworker. Or the guy next door. Or a second hand car salesman.
When you meet someone like this, you feel like you wanna know the story of that person? Or just find that person creepy?
I don't want to know their story nor do I think they're creepy. I'm not into people watching or trying to figure them out. everyone has a story. If they share it, fine. If not, fine.
Many people aren't into social media. Good for them! Saves them from the headaches. Keeps them out of the drama.
1- Wow, I started a thread, somebody call the cops.
.
Heh; I was going to mention "the cops" but you beat me to it!
In some circles, having "no past" means nobody talks to you until you're checked for a wire. I knew 2 guys like that & they were very patient people. They were also adept at catching people off guard ... You know; how it's really awkward when someone makes a scene about "seeing you again!!" But you cannot remember who they are?
Well, one of these guys was super good at this: "Hey bro ... aren't you Johnny's cousin? Didn't we party at Sturgis 1996?" Of course, since "Bro" does have a cousin named Johnny that went to Sturgis with him in 1996, he doesn't want to look like some lightweight that can't remember so he plays it off like "Oh yeah, man! That was a helluva party!"
And anyone who might have been thinking "What's up with this guy? Who is he anyway?" Will think "huh, guess he's cool ... if Bro was partying with him years ago ..."
Of course, this is a false sense of security; the reason Bro knows ... is because he has 2 federal agencies that have collected all the intelligence needed to be viable in an otherwise "suspicious of outsiders" group.
Their teeth were too nice so I didn't associate with them. Doesn't do any good to try to look like authentic scooter trash by running over your new leathers 100 times if your teeth look like they came straight out of the suburbs.
Makes me wonder, though; what DO under-covers do now with social media as rampant as it is when they have to "be" someone who didn't exist 6 months ago?

I know that type of stuff. My father was like that, always asking loaded questions to check my reaction, playing psychological games. I cannot remember a single time I could be relaxed around him. He played this game called "tell a lie to get a truth". Very disfunctional stuff. In his beathbed me told me he was sorry for all that bull****, and we had our first sincere conversation ever. Eveything was forgiven. He went in peace.
The apple didn't fall far from the tree as far as playing psychological games.
I sense that you are just like your Father.
WOW...talk about making assumptions about total strangers and going all personal and stuff....
Thanks god for CD, life would be so boring without it, LOL.
