[ WP ] A man begins to physically and mentally break down after he loses his connection to the internet .

This was the third time Howard had used his computers auto-repair feature that was prompted and normally fixed this sort of thing, he could feel the sweat starting to bead on his brow. He was trying to think of some other way to go about fixing this issue, but outside of mashing the phrase `` fix my computer'' into his internet browser, he could n't come up with anything. He felt like his mind was turning to... Pancakes... Nice analogy Howard. He pushed the auto-correct feature thinking that this was going to fix something. 
 
 As the computer went though it's usual checks and returned another poor response, Howard depressed the mouse and it made a small click confirming that yes, he once again wished to check his internet connection. Howard returned his hand to rest on his lap. Another unfavorable error message about the connection. Howard looked to the mouse to once again try and stimulate a correction in the computer, but this time as he reached, he noticed that on the mouse, already rested his index finger. 
 
 Howard took his eyes from the screen to look upon his hand and noticed his middle and ring fingers suspended by ghastly white skin on his hand. Howard began to panic and rise from his custom office swivel-throne. His legs revolted against the unusual movement and Howard fell to the ground. He looked back at his natural perch only to see that his legs did not follow his exact decent to the carpet but rather disembodied themselves and now rest under the computer. The computer then mocked that it had once again been unable to establish an internet connection. 
 
 Howard struggled to scream, hoping that one of the adjacent inhabitants of the complex would hear and come to his aid but all he managed was a string of WWW's, IP addresses and screen names, catch phrases from hours of pirated television and abbreviations that might have made sense if only he were logged into his Facebook. 
 
 As Howard's skin slowly became part of the carpet he only had but one wish as the life left him... that he could just update his status one last time...
