Going Viral

I stood, unmoving, as confetti flew the air around me, the crowd cheering.

After a moment, the host grabbed my shoulder.

"You're our grand champion! Congratulations!"

I nodded, simply. He leaned down and whispered in my ear, sounding angry.

"You need to show some happiness here!"

I turned to them and spoke softly, making sure the microphone didn't pick it up.

"Or, I stay like this and go viral."

The host paused, and then laughed as he went back to acting happy and enthusiastic.

I ended up going viral, but only after it was discovered that I cheated to win.
