  Welcome, human.

  You have woken. Waked. Awok-

  Ok fine, look, you woke up. Congrats. I don`t know what the proper form of the word is.

  Anyways, you`re awake! Yay! And you`re in a room! Yay? A room with four concrete walls, a concrete ceiling, and a concrete floor. Less yay.

  You might be slightly worried about this. Don`t be, it`s all perfectly fine! Sure, you might have a slight headache, but that`s normal. It`ll go away in a few minutes. When everything stops being fuzzy tap your nose and I`ll continue.

  You tap your nose, looking around.

  The room is a perfect cube, eight feet by eight feet by eight feet. The walls are bare. The ceiling has a single fluorescent lightbulb bolted to it. In the middle of the floor is a red button.

  You get to your feet, noticing you`re wearing a blue jumpsuit.

  Why are you wearing a blue jumpsuit? Because when we bought them the website was having a sale on the blue ones. Oh, you mean why are you wearing it? Well, all test subjects wear jumpsuits. Let`s say it`s the uniform. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  ...Yes, I did say "test subject". That`s what you are. Don`t worry, we aren`t evil or anything.

  No you can`t leave yet, the test has barely begun.

  How did you get into the room? Tis a secret. A very mysterious secret.

  You touch the walls. They feel like concrete, and sound thick when you tap them. There`s probably no way to break through them. At least not without a sledgehammer or power tools.

  Finally you go to look at the button.

  It is red. It`s set in a silver aluminum ring, securely fastened to the floor. It smells faintly of-

  Ok, here it says it smells like "Crisp Waters". What, were they all out of "Hawaiian Breeze" at Wal-Mart? And why not get "Apple Cinnamon`` or "Lavender & Peach Blossom"? At least with those I could hazard a guess as to what they smell like! Hell, even "Hawaiian Breeze" probably smells kinda fruity! But what, for the love of all that`s holy, is "Crisp Waters" supposed to smell like?? Presumably you know, because you`re currently smelling it, but I sure don`t!

  Anyways, yes. "Crisp Waters". Right. You may or may not try to lick the button, in which case you would find it tastes like air freshener. It`s probably mildly toxic. Licking the button is never a good idea.

  Well, that`s the setup. You, all alone in a concrete room, with a button.

  What do you look like? ...What, do you not know? Well I`m not about to describe you, that would just be a waste of time, and you`d probably whine that I got something wrong. So no. Not gonna do it.

  But what are you going to do?

  DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON?

  Yes

  No
