Never said much, just kept to themselves, never caused any trouble.  Sure, they got a lot of boxes delivered, but no one paid much attention to that.  And they rarely left the appartment.  Coworkers said pretty much the same, only adding that sometimes <strong>WCGW<\/strong> seemed distracted.  Looking back, some recalled a vacant, faraway gaze, often accompanied by soundless, moving lips that seemed to be speaking to someone that wasn&#8217;t there.  <strong>WCGW<\/strong> seemed a little awkward in direct discussions and wouldn&#8217;t meet the eye.  Some other podcasts called <strong>WCGW<\/strong> a loner, a bit of a recluse, but <strong>WCGW<\/strong> didn&#8217;t care what the other podcasts said or thought.  <strong>WCGW<\/strong> had a plan.  <strong>WCGW<\/strong> could be patient.  <strong>WCGW<\/strong> could bide it&#8217;s time and wait for the perfect moment . . . the moment when no one suspected a thing.
