Big Red Button. Mad Sadie 2526Words 2024-03-27 18:51

  You took too long finding the button, and ended up stepping on it since you couldn`t bend over.

  Ding.

  Where is the ding coming from? There aren`t any speakers in here.

  And now that you`ve pressed the button there isn`t any vent near the ceiling or confetti, either.

  The lack of confetti is a relief, at least.

  Would you like to wander around for a few minutes, trying to find a source for the sound?

  I mean, you can, go ahead, but spoiler alert: you won`t find any. Sorry.

  The walls all feel and sound pretty solid.

  They, um, they smell and taste pretty solid too, weirdo. Seriously, who licks a wall?

  Anyways, there`s a cupcake sitting on top of the button now. Not that you noticed, since you were too busy making out with a wall, but I don`t judge.

  Actually, no, I totally judge. I`m a judgy person.

  Oh, you suddenly want to know how I`m watching you? You suddenly have questions about me?

  Hah!

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  Yeah, you`re never gonna find out about me or how I`m seeing you. Don`t even bother asking.

  Oh, I have a way, Mr. Expert Worldbuilder. Don`t worry, I have a reasonable explanation. There are no holes in this plot.

  Now go eat your cupcake.

  You&

  There`s a perfectly good cupcake right in front of you, and instead of eating it you move it aside to look at the button.

  Sheesh, unwilling test subjects just aren`t what they used to be.

  I mean& What?

  I didn`t say anything now eat the damn cupcake.

  Oh come on, even gluten intolerant people eat cupcakes. Or at least the frosting! It`s a cupcake! Stop looking at the button!

  FINE.

  The button is firmly secured to the floor. The button is red, plastic, smells like "Hawaiian Breeze" and tastes like a car freshener.

  The ring around the button is silver aluminum. It`s thick; won`t bend or crack. It`s set into the concrete, so no chance of prying it off with your fingernails or any handy-shaped jewelry you might be wearing.

  The plastic of the button is pretty thick, it`s not going anywhere. It`s not high enough that you can kick it loose.

  Wiggling it does nothing.

  ...Wiggling it still does nothing.

  Stop wiggling the damn button, it isn`t going anywhere.

  Finally!

  It took like a quarter of an hour, but you`re finally looking at the cupcake.

  It`s a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and little round orange sprinkles. It was probably bought at Wal-Mart, not gonna lie. That should give you all the information you need about its quality.

  DO YOU EAT THE CUPCAKE?

  Yes

  No
