“Hey, I don't have internet anymore, is it the same at your place?”
“Yeah.. The provider told us they were looking, but from what I hear it's a national outage.”
“Damn, I was in the middle of a LoL game!!”
Φ I don't understand Φ
“Sorry, we don't accept credit cards at the moment”

“Then what is it?!”
“I'm not sure, sir”
“THE ERROR REPORT, WHAT THE HELL DOES IT SAY?!!”
“We've got no feedback... nothing at all... it's like the servers don't exist anymore”
*Sigh* “No fucking use of you, I'm going to contact Icann, they must have some insight!!”
Φ Who could understand... who could understand me? Φ
“Yes sir, I know it's becoming urgent but as I told you, our technicians are all over the problem!!!”
“What's the problem?! Huh?!! Our centers are being submerged by incessant calls, and civilians are even coming to our offices to protest, MOVE YOUR ASSES!”

Dear Diary,
I confess, I don't really know what to write here, but I was told... it would help me, to open up a bit more, and explain things rationally...
I'm not the type to write.. about my life, you know? Um..
I write fiction.. well, it doesn't work too well, but.. I enjoy writing it.
Maybe one day, I'll be able to do something with it.
As the old quote goes: “Let dreams devour your life before life devours your dreams”, or something like that.
Yeah.. I feel like life has just been devouring my dreams all these years...
People out there.. they're all worried about the internet being down..
Frankly, I don't care.
All I want.
Φ What do you want? Φ
Is that everything goes better... from now on

“It's really too weird to write what we really think... but it's true... it feels good”
“KEVIN!!”
“WHAT MOM?!”
“COME AND SEE!!”
“Oooh~.. boring..”
Young Kevin, lying in his room with his diary, gets up and heads down the corridor to the living room, where his mother is waiting for him.
She's sitting on the sofa, watching TV
Kevin: “It's fucking weird... It's like something's... describing my movements?”
“What are you talking about, kiddo?”
Kevin: “Oh nothing Dad, it's just my imagination, as usual”
Kevin's mother: “Have you seen the TV? I hear there's no Internet anymore!”
Kevin: “Yeah, who cares?”
Kevin's dad: “Well, not really, it stinks for a lot of things”
Kevin: “Yeah, it's true that now that we've made the transition to the Celestium, we've got internet in everything”
“Well, it's a good thing we still have the old technologies!”
Kevin: “Hehe, I knew it would come in handy at some point, I told you Danid!”
Danid (Brother): “Where's the Moustik?”
Kevin : “No idea”
Kevin's mother: “Well.. You know where he is!”
Kevin's dad: “Playing with his cousin Jeremy upstairs”

Kevin: “I.. I'll just keep writing my novel, you know my little thing I like to write”
Danid : “Oh yeah, well go ahead, but don't overdo it eh!”
Kevin: “Don't worry ahah!”
Kevin is totally confused, and starts to get a sudden headache that grips him and hurts more and more

“SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH!”
Professor: “Dylan, the swear words! I'll catch you again and you'll get an hour's detention!”
Dylan: “Excuse me ma'am..”
The nerd: “Tss.. Well, page 34 arithmetic is going to be a piece of cake”
