《Big Red Button.》Press number 1783-ish.

You eventually get bored with the books, and press the button.
Dong.
Aha, the pedestal is back! On the pedestal this time is…
A glass of milk.
…Sitting against the glass of milk is a card that reads “Do Not Tip Over”.
……
To: Big Boss Chris From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Intern So, I don’t know who the intern that screwed up and made the button go “dong” instead of “ding” is, but they need to be fired. Like, seriously. They have no imagination. Fire them.
Ok! Where were we? Oh right, the glass of milk. What fascinating thing will you do with it?
Wow, what a novel concept. Drinking a glass of milk. Careful you don’t swallow the coin or crystal, that would be bad.
If only you had a cookie to go with this glass of milk, then all would be right in the world.
But you don’t, so it isn’t. Oh well.
You decide, in your infinite wisdom, to pour the milk over the button.
Congratulations, the button is now wet, and will probably start to smell bad soon.
…
Have I mentioned recently that I very much judge you for your actions?
Because I totally judge you.
Just, making sure you know.
Also, you’re covered in milk now. You need a shower.
The milk has insulted you! Somehow!
Maybe you’re lactose intolerant? Or vegan? Or a lactose intolerant vegan?!
Whatever the case, that milk had it coming.
You pick up the glass and, using all your Little League training, hurl that thing at the wall.
It crashes, the glass shattering as milk sprays everywhere.
Do- do you feel better now?
Good.
Oh, you rebel.
Grinning like the Grinch, you put a single finger on the glass and slowly…
Slowly…
Push.
The glass loses its balance, and in slow motion, falls to the floor.

Milk splashes out, a few drops hitting your foot and/or shoes if you’re wearing them.
The glass doesn’t shatter, but it does break into a few big pieces.
The card flutters to the ground after it, having failed in its one job.
Are you satisfied? Is your life somehow more fulfilled?
Good.
To: Testing Room Beta From: Big Boss Chris Subject: Re: Intern Usually you’d have to provide some reason for firing them, but don’t worry. They did shoddy enough work that they were given two week’s notice four days ago.
Well, I’d say this room was fun and interesting, but that would be a lie.
Ready to move on?
DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON? Yes No

Just a Rock
There was once a writer that felt like creating a story about a rock. A rock so amazing that its story just needed to be told. How amazing? Not amazing at all, on the contrary, quite ordinary. Don't believe me? Then read on. Edit: Resumed the story. Can’t do any more audio versions for now. I plan on editing some of the now non-applicable author notes and maybe rearranging the two side stories or combining them with the deleted chapters.
8 134The New Community
In the not too distant future, the world is settling down after world war 3, recovering and rebuilding. From the ruins, new communities and governments arise, along with Talents, people with extraordinary abilities. Amongst the groups is the Community, based in Europe, an inclusive group of towns that values everyone, regardless of Talent status. Leading the recruitment charge is Zoe, a powerful technomancer, one of the first generation of Talents. On her adventures, what will happen? Your votes will decide. A/N: I'll update chapters when I get to places where I feel it's right, I don't know where to go and want some direction or would like to have you help with the narrative in some way. Having others make choices forces me to be creative and I think that's when I'm at my best. Keep an eye out for polls in post chapter notes, they usually last 2 days. As always, love each other, and know I am grateful for every single person who reads my works.
8 237Wave
Wave had always considered herself a good driver. Well, until she crashes into a desk. Now her hover car is junk, her eardrums are ruptured, and instead of admitting her for a thirty-second surgery to fix it, her insurance company just gives her a damn hearing aid. When someone hacks into the hearing aid's operating system and speaks to her in the voice of the mysterious radio host Aki, Wave just wants to lock herself in her apartment and shut the whole world out. But then the news report that Aki has thrown himself to his death the day before, and Wave begins to investigate.

This journey involves my answering of 365 creative writing prompts in a desperate bid to overcome my laziness.The prompts come from https://thinkwritten.com/365-creative-writing-prompts/ and I used to write one a day, but since I've been making progress with overcoming my laziness I'm spending much more time working on my Works in Progress (real novels). THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW: I've gotten over the majority of my laziness. I'm unlikely to update this much. It's pretty much complete. The novel I'm working on is Dark Seas Leading Demise

What would happen if a high tech world met a fantasy one? It could go something like this. Schedule will be 3-4 chapters a week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and (Friday). It might change after the lockdown, but I want to keep the same pace after.
