No one fretted as online shopping and socialising became more common. We still had reasons to go out, after all.
Then came the wifi-enabled coffee machines, alongside other appliances. A gimmick, nothing new.
It felt more sinister when the virtual cafés arrived, complete with AI baristas. Your coffee machine connected to your device of choice, you ordered from the barista avatar, and could sit alone or with others as you sipped your drink. Café footfall took a hit.
But it was the haircut apps that killed the high street. Not needing to leave the house to get groomed, people just stayed home.

The rookie squatted at the pavement edge. "Why's it always me searching the #gutter? Didn't you say we'd take turns with everything?"
"And I meant it, but..." The detective looked embarrassed. "I can't bend down that far."

‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’
But my friend, have you considered
how the detritus of the gutter
has constellations of it own? -

Dragons stood by knights, enchanted frogs by disgruntled witches.

"Tonight, the master of fairy tales falls!"
