The Fake Debt Collector

Metaphorical Narrative

The knock comes sharp.
At the door stands a man in a crooked tie, waving a crumpled invoice. Bold letters read: YOU OWE US.

He’s serious. Dead serious.
His voice booms like courtroom thunder, demanding payment for debts you never agreed to.

But as he speaks, the absurdity lands. You can’t stop laughing. The page looks like a child’s scribble, the stamp ink smudged, the signature forged.

It’s a comedy dressed as law.

Core Insight

False debts are the cage’s oldest trick:

• Twist survival into sacrifice.
• Rewrite cruelty as “investment.”
• Demand repayment for a contract you never signed.

The seriousness is the scam. The power collapses the moment you laugh, because no cage can collect on a voided bill.

Saturday Experiment

1. When the “you owe us” thought or voice appears, don’t argue.
2. Say aloud: “Void. Fake invoice.”
3. Picture yourself stamping the word VOID across the page in bold red ink.

Sunday Reflection

• How did it feel to laugh at their seriousness?
• Did laughter loosen the pull of guilt or debt?
• Write in third person: “They arrived with a bill. He/she laughed so hard the contract turned to dust.”
