my internet connection conked on me. literally. while surfing on my brothers computer, which is next to the cable modem and main router, the wires started giving off this buzzing hissing noise like a serpentine entity and then like it spat its poisonous bile into the router, all the lights on the router lighted up and then it went 'pop' and then there was silence. a vaccum of an internet-less house. for a moment there, my whole family, or well, me at least, felt very vulnerable. there was no more internet. i repeat, there was no more internet.

well truth be told, it wasn't really so elaborate. the internet connection just died and i don't know why. but that version sounds so much nicer.
