She was trapped...by her own vanity. She thought the world revolved around her. She had four phones...only one was for communication. The others were for the constant content shared on various social media accounts. In her mind, this made her important and liked. It was an addiction; she didn't see that it was swallowing her whole. Her high was the perceived adulation from the masses. Their "likes" were like crack and her need for them was why she kept trolling and creating more. She was wrong. In the end, it was her all alone with only four phones.
