Before the YouTube algorithm ate time like a Langolier, before Amazon owned the United States Air Force's servers, and before Google was a verb, the internet had a literal end. If one was to work hard enough to push their loved ones and real-life experiences away, and just dive and dive and dive, one could reach the end. I did it on a Tuesday at 11:46 AM. I was late for something. My eyes could barely focus, but I saw the end like a pin prick from space, and I clicked on the final link. The end of the internet was a Twitter account for a 13-year-old boy from Baraboo, Wisconsin. He didn't post any photos; he didn't have any followers, he just had a simple bio that read, \"one tweet for every sneeze.\" All his tweets were just numbers; a running count of every time he sneezes, usually 3 or 4 posts in a quick burst. It's never changed and still runs to this day. I checked last month and his last tweet was 21,914.

It was sunset over the rockies, I had a window seat facing north. I was reading volume \"N\" of the Encyclopedia Britannica, ignoring the tepid romantic comedy playing on the cabin's shared t-screen just above the persistently \"occupied\" bathroom ideogram. My attention was drawn outside, taking in the peace only obtainable 20,000 feet above the earth, when something drew my attention just behind the number 3 engine. What was it? A small black spot, perhaps smoke from the engine had singed the wing. Was that normal? Can we maintain our altitude? I was struck by the realization I was strapped into this metallic tube. Fear began to take a hold of me. The dark spot began to grow. What was just soot on the flaps began to engulf the the wing itself. My heart was racing. I was 90% sure we could not continue this flight without both wings. From flap to front edge, the black markings cut across the entire wing. \"You fools!\" I screamed, \"I can't die watching Matthew McConaughey!\" Then I felt the plane turn and a calm came over me, not at my acceptance of death, but at my realization that I was going to live.

That man stole my idea! I had the exact same plan. I was going to train pigeons to fly around New York city, pick up change, and bring it to my rooftop. Ok, maybe it's not the exact same idea. I was going to train rats to train the pigeons to fly around New York City, pickup change, and bring it to my rooftop. So he trained pigeons, I was going to train rats to train pigeons; it's basically the exact same plan. OK, maybe I wasn’t going to train the pigeons to fly around New York city to pickup change, maybe I was going to train rats to train pigeons to watch the 2010 thriller “The Town” directed by Ben Affleck. The pigeons would watch the film everyday for a year until they were proficient bank robbers. So, he trained his pigeons to pickup change and bring it to the roof; I was going to train rats to train pigeons to rob banks. It’s almost the exact same plan. Ok, maybe I wasn’t going to train pigeons to rob banks. Everyone knows pigeons would never wear a nun costume while robbing a bank. I’ve never met a sacrilegious pigeon. He trained pigeons to fly around New York City to pickup change. I was going to train rats to train pigeons to watch the 2010 thriller “The Town” directed by Ben Affleck, then we were going to film a shot-for-shot all avian remake - pigeons as the robbers, crows as the cops, chickadees and blue jays as everyday citizens stuck between their loyalty to their fellow Bostonians and the rule of law. All the birds would have had thick accents and Red Sox gear and we would have been sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. We would have shot the whole thing in 60 days on a medium budget of 4,000,000 birdseeds and sold the picture to China for upwards of a thousand dollars. So he trained pigeons to fly, pickup change, and bring it to his roof. I was going to train rats to train pigeons to reenact the 2010 thriller “The Town” directed by Ben Affleck and film a shot-for-shot all avian remake and sell the film to China.
