"Well... this is it."
"Yeah. I guess."
"Time for everything to end and the start to finish."
Silence screamed. Everywhere. Occasionally muffled by tears, but mostly nothing.
He sniffed. He reached his hand out...
And clicked the 'Log on to AOL' button.
It was his only option. His connection had been down for days.
*THUD THUD*But his moment was cut short by the merciless cries at the door.
Yelling.
Banging.
The nightmare wanted to stop itself, but it just couldn't.
AOL had taken over his mind. His flesh began to chew away at itself.
Subsequently, he carried himself towards the shower, dousing himself in the steaming hot water.
The door gave way, and the Gaians rushed inside.
They scavenged under the bed, the closet, the hallway, the attic. Everywhere.
And the last place they thought to look was the bathroom.
Slowly, as they opened the door, everybody began to emerge into shock.
What awaited them wasn't a pretty sight.
It was mundane, bleak, or even a note that said "Here's a reason to kill yourself", but one thing was for sure...
Splitter4, otherwise known as the Sniper, had been brought to a very tragic death by the evils of America Online.
The end.
