Dead World

A man was sitting at his desk with random parts for random things scattered everywhere when message box popped up on his computer:

PunqRkr69: Is it ready yet?
WalkingKain: Close. It’ll be ready for deployment tomorrow.
PunqRkr69: Good. Talk to you tomorrow…. of course, not through this method.
WalkingKain: Heh. Heh.

The next day, the whole world shut off. Power grids, web servers, telecommunications, household computers, everything…. dead. No one ever found out what happened. No one ever got their computers to work again. Cities were abandoned because everyone moved to the country. People returned to the old ways. After many years people forgot about computers.

The End.
