Idea for a short story: A man wakes up to find himself being held captive in a doorless, windowless room. He is fed breakfast, lunch and dinner through a slot in the wall.

Embedded in the wall is a computer monitor, under which is a keyboard and mouse. The computer has internet access.

First he tries to call for help, e-mailing people he once knew, the police, etc. He is met with a mix of sympathy, disbelief and disdain. Eventually he is able to convince the police of the reality of his situation. However, his internet connection is well-hidden. Despite their best efforts, the police team of hackers cannot determine his location.

As the police try to find him, the man spends his time idly browsing the internet, watching videos, posting on DQN, playing browser MMORPGs, etc. Years pass and the police still cannot locate him.

I thought of two endings. First: He becomes accustomed to his internet lifestyle. When a door finally opens, he realizes he doesn't want to leave.

Second: He finally grows sick of the internet and breaks the monitor, keyboard and mouse in a fit of rage. Then the door opens and he is led to freedom.

Here is the third one: enraged, he destroys his habitat, but his imprisonment is time limited. He spends the rest completely secluded, slowly losing his mind.
