《Big Red Button.》Second punch.

You punch the button.
Dong.
Another dong. Hmm.
Give me a second.
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Weird sound. Hey Max, the button goes “dong” sometimes instead of “ding”. Should I be worried?
Just sit tight.
I’ll get to you in a moment.
To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Weird sound.
Oh yeah, that happens. One of the interns that was hired last week is totally tone deaf and got it wrong. If it goes “dang”, be worried. Otherwise it’s fine.
Want to grab a beer after work?
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Weird sound.
Good to know!
Pssh, you know I’m always down for a beer!
To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Re: Re: Weird sound.
Cool! See you at eight!
I'm totally gonna beat you at darts tho, fair warning!
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Weird sound. Ha! In your dreams, dude!
Hmm? Why are you tapping your foot?
OH! Right! I totally forgot about you!
Sorry!
The sound is fine.
Where were we?
Ok, so the room is now tv-free. In the place of the tv is a treadmill.
It’s good to get plenty of exercise. You’ve been stuck in this room for a couple hours now, why not stretch your legs a bit?
You… You aren’t getting on the treadmill.
Don’t you want to stay healthy? You don’t?
Somehow I’m not surprised.
I didn’t mean that as an insult! Honest!
I’m sure you’re just worried about getting dehydrated, since there isn’t any water in the room.
Riiiiiight.
Well, just to prove me wrong, you get on the treadmill. It isn’t plugged in, but somehow it magically starts up anyways.
You start it at a low setting, a comfortable walk. You could probably go at that pace forever.

Actually, no, it’s too slow. It’s uncomfortably slow. You push the button to speed it up.
There we go, now it’s a nice walking pace. A good half-hour at that pace and you’ll have gotten all the exercise you need for the day.
Maybe.
I don’t know much about how exercise works.
Anyways, without music or anything interesting to look at, you get really bored really fast.
You turn up the speed.
It’s now at a speedwalking speed. Woo! Look at you go! So speedeh!
You turn up the speed again, and have to jog.
Yeah, that’s the ticket! Burn those calories! Go! Go! Go!
Aaaaand now you’re getting off the treadmill, leaving it running. You push the “up” button, maxing out the speed for the belt. It- umm- it’s going pretty fast now.
I see the look on your face. I know that you plan on jumping on, just to see what happens. I really don’t recommend it.
Like, I really don’t think that’s approved by the manufacturers as an acceptable usage…
You jump on.
…
Wow that looked painful.
You ok, dude?
You kinda have skidmarks on your face now.
Didn’t know someone’s heels could hit the back of their skull like that.
You probably have one hell of a headache right now.
To be fair, I totally warned you not to do that. This is absolutely not my fault.
You climb to your feet, groaning. You may or may not have broken your nose.
Also your eyebrows… well… I’m sure they’ll grow back eventually.
Glaring at the treadmill, you head to the button.
DO YOU PUSH THE BUTTON? Yes No

Totally Not a Chosen Hero
Jesse's life just started to get great. He bought a comfy apartment, received an offer for a six-figure job, and scored a date with the girl of his dreams. But then, parallel world wizards magically kidnapped Jesse alongside a dozen of strangers. Has no one taught them consent?! The emperor and his confidants told Jesse and other earthlings that they were the Chosen Heroes and a bright future awaited them. Bullshit. That they just needed to learn magical combat at the academy, and then defeating Dark Lords would be easy-peasy. Oh yeah? That as long as they completed their sacred duty, they could choose to return to Earth or continue living on Aethelrend as kings and queens. No thanks. While other so-called Heroes were easily tricked by empty promises of power, riches, and even immortality, Jesse knew better than to believe his kidnappers. He was getting the hell out.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
