The Inquiry: A Criminal Offense

To her, it seemed like a Kafka  kind of inquiry, as the woman’s inaccessible persecutors never revealed their faces much less their whereabouts, throughout the months during which the inquiry transpired.

“What is my crime? Why am I being subjected to continual harassment and torment?”

The accusations continually hurled at her were too vague to pinpoint their origin or source.

“The sins of Eve,” she heard a man's voice state in a distinct voice, transmitted over a communication system that invaded the privacy of her home.

“Ridiculous! Eve’s sins were her own. So were Adam’s.” That was the closest she ever came to identifying her crime. “I claim victory in Jesus’ name.”

Voluntary, solitary confinement in her own home failed to bring about resolution, as did her repeated attempts to respond to the man’s persistent voice.

“I don’t deserve this abuse.”

Soon, other voices spoke in a derogatory manner, too. They always seemed to be the same accusatory voices using a wide range of demeaning, vulgar words. Some were male, others female, but even teenager’s and children’s voices were transmitted.

“I refuse to wear those labels. My accusers should wear them. I never hear those voices when I am not at home. Is this transmission through shortwave radios, or another frequency? Am I the target? Regardless, this is interference.”

With that, she began doing research into different kinds of radio transmissions, soon learning that this had happened repeatedly over the years on different shortwave radios. It was resolved by changing broadband frequencies.

“Radio transmissions which could control or alter human thought patterns,” she read.

It was obvious the crime was on their part.

“Has the nature of man changed? Are these the sins of a new Adam? Isn’t intrusion into one’s home via their communication system, a criminal offense?”
