The Hole's our little secret. Nobody knew about it. Even fewer how to find it. But we found it. It was right there all along. Sometimes, when you'd load Darknet and Netscape, there'd be a tiny black dot in the bottom left corner in all the blank space.

You'd be in the hole. You remember it now? You remember it now, don't you?

Yeah.

There are a lot of very bad things hidden in the old internet. Things that Twitter and Tumblr generations will never see. And lucky them.

Do you remember how you had this dial-up modem and when you'd run it, you could swear you'd hear a little voice inside talking to you? What?

Yes. You said it ago, and all the beeps and pops. You said there was a little voice in there with a message. To me, it was a lot of crazy noise, but you made me get real close and listen. And you told me it was anything. Everything's better in here. Abracadabra. I can't believe I even remember that.

But before that... We never ever had the internet in our home.

You should be careful on the internet, you know. A lot of bad things on there.

Where'd you go? I hope nothing strange happened.

Everyone remember how sometimes you'd go in there and it'd be all dusty and no one was there, like it was abandoned years ago, but you could still go sit at a computer and get online?
