The Meme That Saved His Life

My best friend Logan was a hardcore, borderline unhinged pop-stan. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes in the morning was check the stan-Twitter trending tabs and fandom forums; the last thing he did before crashing at night was run crowd-control on hate comments under his idol's posts.

His ultimate bias was Christine, the frontwoman of the biggest girl group on the planet.

Around midnight, I sent Logan a stupid meme video.

His chat stayed dead for a few minutes. Then my screen flashed with an incoming image.

I tapped to open it, and every muscle in my body froze.
