It happened to all of us.
There are barely any exceptions.
Everyone who ever started an online conversation suffered from this...
'Disease'...

It starts out really slow. No-one really notices it, but if the first bit starts, it's already a lifethreatening job to save yourself from it.

"Hi."

Looks familiar? You know it does. You've had the disease, you've seen it happen. Though it doesn't look like much, you knew the consequences, you just didn't know how fast to RUN.

"Hey."

What's this? The unknowing defence? Trust me, it isn't going to work. With an attack like that, it'll blow right through your weak, life-less defense. It will go like wind through a tree. The defense will either break, or bend.

"How are you?"

Oh.... You can't get around this one. This required skill, and you know it! How are you going to fix it, now that it has come to this? Are you going for your specialties, or are you just going to turn back and run?

"I'm fine, you?"

Ohhhh, now we didn't see this one coming! This must be one of your bad-ass skills! I wonder what the offence is going to do about this... This must be hard. It should take some time, I mean, it's not every day you get a defense like... WHAT's THIS?!

"I'm fine, thanks."

Whoa! That's amazing! The response, so skilled, so fast! I don't know about you, but I'm suprised! -Really?-

NO.

This was all part of the disease. It started out with "hi.", and now it has killed. There's nothing left. It's everyday's disease. It spreads faster than AIDS, or any other disease. It kills faster, the effects are stronger faster, and better disguised.
It's the biggest all time killer.
It's the killer of conversations.
Everyone has seen it.

It's too late. You can try your own digital version of CPR on it, but it won't work.
You messed up. You tried your best, it just wasn't enough.
The conversation is dead, and nothing remains.
No cremation, or funeral, no.
It is dead silence, and everthing has come to a...
