CHASE JEFFERY

"Parting is such sweet sorrow," Shakespeare once wrote. Homeboy, however, lived in an age when goodbyes were still a thing.

 

420 years later, thanks to many major innovations in communication, modern man has transcended difficult conversations, dear John letters, gut-wrenching phone calls (see Joe Jonas’ infamous 27-second breakup with Taylor Swift in 2008), and even the short but cruel "it's over" text. In the age of Snapchat, the best way to end a relationship is to simply vanish into thin air, like a 10-second self-deleting image.

 

But what about all the unassuming lovers on the receiving end of this vexing vanishing act? Left with a major case of heartbreak and a trail of smoke where a person used to be—with no answers, clues, or goodbyes to ease their pain—how do they cope and begin to move on? Enter GHOSTED ENCOUNTERS. In this gripping new series devastated millennials track down and confront the former lovers who ghosted them in hopes of finding closure—if that’s even a thing— once and for all. Only time will tell if these jilted ghostees are prepared to handle the drama of a reunion after months and years without communication, or the shock of whatever dark secrets come to light.
