[ WP ] NASA makes their Mars announcement . Turns out , they 've discovered the location of MH370 .

The Internet was buzzing. Ryan logged into his favorite sites. He was ready to troll. 
 
 The comments gave him pause. 
 
 `` They said it weird. Like... they were n't surprised that a plane teleported.'' That made him pause, but he typed `` The portal is probably God judging all the sinners.'' 
 
 Within 20 minutes, he had several fights on his hands. He smiled. 
 
 He scrolled some more. The references to portals came up over and over. Around his lunch time, he had trouble breathing when the news came on. 
 
 `` As a lot of commentators have noted, yes, we are aware of the type of phenomena that diverted Flight MH370. It is n't common, and we are still learning the nuances of it.'' The crowd boomed with camera flashes and questions. `` Oh, and we want to make it very clear. This is n't some divine act. We understand the science around it, as in we can predict within an hour or two when one will appear, so all of the discussion about this being Gateways to Hell or something are silly.'' Ryan's heart leaped. He wrote that in one of his debates. 
 
 He kept browser open, searching everything about the portals. Conspiracy theorists and scientists pointed to events that the portals may have been responsible for causing: the Titanic ran into a displaced glacier, Amelia Eahart, everything in the Bermuda Triangle. It wall began to coalesce. It made his head spin. Ryan decided to go for a jog. 
 
 Throughout the jog, his phone kept whining with debates to his trolling. The religious shit got the most reaction. He's gotten death threats, false dox, everything. He felt really good and used each chime to push his run. He closed his eyes as he ran through the park. 
 
 The air felt electric on his skin. It almost approached mild burning levels, but he pushed through it. The entire world was panicking. Well, not Ryan, he lived for this sort of chaos. 
 
 Out of nowhere, he slipped right into a portal that opened in front of him. He fell for what felt like forever. The tube he passed through was translucent with images of his life. All the stupid asshole moves he made were played in front of him. The freefall made him so terrified, but the dazzling colors, so bright and vivid that it hurt his brain distracted him from his fears for minutes or whatever at a time. He had no concept of time, but he knew he was in a lot of trouble. After his last troll, he entered a dark region. 
 
 A voice boomed. 
 
 `` You have been deemed unfit to remain on this plane of exist. We have judged you as not worthy of the gift of human life.'' That sounded ominously God-like. Ryan thought of that for a minute before he stopped breathing. He looked around him. He was floating now with no air. It was being sucked out of him. He looked at the Earth, through a thin veil of blood. He reached for it, but it was an impossible number of miles away. He tried to scream, but in a vacuum, sound dies. Ryan did too.

 `` Glen, why the spiel at the end?'' 
 
 `` I think its funny.'' 
 
 `` You test this amazing technology on people that are at the fringes of society. Human beings, mind you, and you still get off on trolling them?'' 
 
 `` Blaine, we have killed a lot of people just to make sure we can replicate this. If I do n't find joy in some aspect of it, I will go crazy.'' 
 
 They sat in silence, the weight of reality pulling them down.
