The Day the Internet Stopped Working

The day the internet stopped working, I opened the door and let my face embrace the breeze of cold air, I looked around to find dainty plants for which I never cared. After a long time, I stepped out of my house and strolled through the park for a while, Funnily, I felt as if I had walked a mile! I stopped and was astonished at the sight that beheld my eyes, 'Oh dear!' people are conversing with each other and being nice! I sat on a huge rock at the corner of the park, Soon I realized it was getting dark. After ages, I looked up at the sky contrary to my daily routine of looking down at my mobile screen, 'So that's what they call sunset!' I happily scream. For a moment I felt my life was a lie, I guiltily looked at the Earth, for which I never batted an eye. A familiar sound shook me out of my thoughts, I was notified that the internet connection was back and I was pulled back into the same knot.
