The man’s name was Mark. He wanted a dog and a bigger apartment. Under “guilty pastime”, he’d listed “Ebay”. He put two photos online, and sent several more directly to Jin. In this second batch, he’d been photographed with a chocolate Labrador puppy, which suggested that he’d either awarded himself one of his wishes or that he’d taken the photo with somebody else’s dog.
Jin had compiled his profile under the name “Bruno Schulz”, his favorite writer, so that his mother and sister wouldn’t find him online. He never lied to his dates about his real name, though. Usually, they thought it was quirky and endearing that he so enjoyed the stories of an eclectic Polish modernist.
