[ WP ] You suddenly find your doors and windows wo n't open . You log in to Reddit and find the most upvoted thread with over a million comments and just two hours old `` Help , my door is stuck , any tips to get it open ? ''

Sam cried. The thread would barely load at this point. 8 hours after he first tried his door and windows his sense of place in the world was shaken to its core. 
 
 He had n't tried breaking his windows yet. u/TheBaddestDongbeast69 reported her husband broke their slider and tried to leave the house but he got stuck halfway and everything she said after that was gibberish. 
 
 Sam had tried calling 911 on his phone, the operator picked up the line and just starting looping `` hello 911 what is your emer- hello 911 what is your emer-'' over and over. He turned on the TV. CNN was reporting on that missing girl from Alabama again. MSNBC was talking about the upcoming debate. 
 
 Was this real? Everything was wrong, this ca n't be happening, was he dreaming? Was this lucid dreaming that he had read about? It sure felt real when he about pissed himself. Amanda- what is happening with Amanda? Why would n't she respond to any texts or calls? 
 
 His stomach growled. How could he be hungry at a time like this? It was chaos outside. The neighbors two houses down appeared to be trying to crash their car into their living room. Some were just walking in circles. He could n't watch anymore, the panic was building again. 
 
 There was a flash of light. Or was it a flash of black? Suddenly he felt weightless and frozen in space. He saw his living room flicker. Text. Text? Is he really seeing this? It looks like a dialog box. Suddenly a voice spoke out.

 Damnit Carl this is why you do n't let the intern commit stack changes. We have n't had an error this big since the gravity lapse in 324.67 resulting in the Dino reset. We'll need all players to logout and return to server selection screen. My mic is what? Oh shi...'' 
 
 He ran to the window and started smashing it with the lamp. He froze. 
 
 ERROR. Your session will be logged out in 30 seconds appeared in the sky. Celia the redhead from next door disappeared in thin air. Why did this seem so wrong? 20 seconds. His past flashed before his eyes, it did n't take log. Why could n't he remember anything about high school? 10 seconds. Amanda.. Amanda.. Who was Amanda? He could n't even see her face. 5.. 4.. Oh 3.. My 2.. God. He suddenly knew. He was an NPC. 1..
