《Big Red Button.》I'll figure out the number soon, I swear...

You wipe off the button with your fingers before pressing it.
Or maybe you wipe it off with your shirt hem, if you’re wearing a shirt.
Anyways, you make an effort to dry the button.
Ding.
The fog vanishes. You can see again!
Unless you wear glasses, in which case it’ll take a few moments for your glasses to clear up.
Well, when your glasses clear up, if you’re wearing them, you see a giant flying pig. With glowing red eyes.
You stumble backwards, quite alarmed. That was not a thing you were expecting to see.
Then again, with all the crap we’ve thrown at you today, what were you expecting to see?

Ok internet, why is it that when I want a picture of fog, fog, you can’t give me a good picture, but when I search for something incredibly stupid like a flying pig with red eyes you come up with that exact thing???
Why?
And I think the worst thing is, this isn’t even a drawing! Sure, I was expecting to rip something off of Deviantart for this, but nope! Turns out this is a real thing, you can see it in California! Or, if you wanted, you could buy one for like $500!
ANYWAYS.
Yeah, the pig isn’t real. It’s made out of concrete and spare car parts, probably.
It’s pretty big, tho, takes up a good quarter of the room.
As soon as you step up to it to examine it closer, the light goes out and the eyes start glowing.
WELL THAT ISN’T UNSETTLING AT ALL, NOPE.
They’re pretty bright, casting enough light to fill the entire room. Looking behind you, you can clearly see the button. That’s good.
This actually isn’t too bad, all things considered.
You’re stuck in a room with a big flying pig statue, everything bathed in red light, but other than that WAIT ARE THE WALLS BLEEDING?

The walls look like they’re bleeding.
That, ok, yeah, that’s not good.
No Bueno.
Nicht Gut.
I- I’m sure it’s just, like, chocolate syrup or something, right? Like they used to use for black and white movies? The color would all be washed out from the red, and it flows the same…
Wanna lick it?
You lick it. Nope. Not chocolate syrup. It’s maraschino cherry syrup. Although, for a few seconds, since you didn’t taste chocolate you couldn’t tell what it was, and slightly freaked out.
Good choice. Better safe than sorry.
You back slowly away from the wall, and accidentally step on the button.
HERE, PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY... No Also no

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
