WITNESS ON RECORD: alex
JURY OF 222 READERS HEARD THIS CASE: 152 believed it, 29 had doubts, 41 weren't buying it.
The app sends you a photograph. Proof of delivery. It is meant to be reassuring.
The photograph shows a man at my front door, taking a parcel, signing on the little screen. He is wearing a grey dressing gown. I have a grey dressing gown.
He has my face.
I was three hundred miles away, at a conference, in a room with forty people, at 11:14 in the morning, and I can prove it, and I did prove it, twice, to two different people who did not want to be told.
My flatmate was at work. Nobody had a key.
The parcel was a book I had ordered. It was in the hall when I got back on the Friday. Opened. Not damaged — opened, carefully, and put back in its packaging, and left on the hall table where post goes.
The book is a novel I had been meaning to read for a year.
There is a bookmark in it. At page 41. I did not put it there. It is a receipt for a coffee, from a café near my old flat, from four years ago, and the receipt is real, and I have looked at it under a lamp like a lunatic.
