Goupil...On Instagram?

Declassified now by the government after his death, some amusing anecdotes were found in Goupil's life, one of which was an Instagram account where he openly talked of being an international assassin. Knowing he wouldn't be believed, this allowed him the freedom to express himself that other outlets could not provide.

Here is a sample of a typical posting where Goupil interacts with the general public. His forced isolation no doubt played a part in this odd behavior for a wanted criminal. Perhaps this proves the need to be human trumps all else.

Only caught after part of last year’s Otsukimi moon viewing festival as I was lamenting fact I was on the run as wanted international assassin. But got all of this one. Was ridiculously hot and muggy. Writing haiku is part of tradition so I scribble this:

Dallas Autumn sweat,
Escaping boredom’s prison,
Chasing Fall’s last moon.

Commenter [Names redacted of the commenters]: Wow! Didn't know international assassins like Japanese festivals!

Goupil: It not festival that first attract me. It was dispersing crowd at night. Knew I be safe there, very hard to track. Had to track someone like that one time, was very difficult.

Commenter: Oh, Had you just killed someone??

Goupil: Nothing like that. Was alone and with pain, paranoid man. Seeking safe place. Always looking over shoulder, just running, not killing anymore.

Commenter: Why are they after you so bad, G?

Goupil: This will sound crazy with all this news that come out, but was Russia job that send everything downhill. Had to cover up connection between oligarch and American senator. Then found out I to be killed after!

Commenter: Dang! Hate it when that happens!

Goupil: Me too! Those Russians are devils! Never do business with them. Use mob seductress in bar to throw you off, make you easy kill. Take all my power to resist. She even haunt dreams later on.

Commenter: Sounds hawt!

Goupil: Not hawt when she plan to tie you up so men with guns can break in and shoot. I barely get out but nothing same after that. Too easy to get caught in France so America I come.

Commenter: Why go to France anyway?

Goupil: France is home. Actually, no place home now. This planet not for me.

Commenter: Are they still hard on your tail, Goupil?

Goupil: Not like before, no. Your idiot president save me. He turn all attention to him like eye of Sauron. This will stop one day but I think after not be like before. American FBI forever to be damaged. They see now they can be attacked but no one stand with them.

Commenter: Never thought of it like that but I see your point.

Goupil: If you being chased you think of it! But other things chasing me too.

Commenter: You mean other governments or Russian mob or...

Goupil: I mean things inside I cannot escape. Times feel short.

Goupil suspected his demise was coming even if not at the hands of law enforcement officials. His later implosion and subsequent suicide proved his past could not be escaped.
