Day one was bliss. She hiked the Pinnacle Ridge route, phone in airplane mode, the blue dot of her position sliding perfectly along a downloaded contour map. No buffering. No dead zones. She felt like a god of the backcountry.

Day three, she canceled. Or tried to.

Day seven morning. She woke to a $79.99 charge on her credit card. Then another. Then twelve more, each a second apart. Her bank balance blinked negative. She tried canceling again. New error:

“I never—”

“No, you don’t understand. The app—it glitched. It charged me and I can’t—”

“Mira. I want to cancel my trial.”
