《The Chronicles of Kevin's Mistakes》Mistake #4: Get Out
Advertisement
Kevin figured that the little orb would leave him alone now that it was locked in a chest with its stupid key. He was wrong.
The voice could be heard while he was anywhere within the tower and it was driving him insane. He'd nearly had a heart attack while he was taking a piss and heard the stupid thing start screeching out of nowhere!
He stomped back to the little closet and flung open the door. The chest had collapsed in on itself and the top was shuddering violently as if the orb underneath it was trying to free itself. Kevin very roughly yanked the top off and grabbed the pulsing object.
the voice huffed.
"Shut up," Kevin replied. "I'm busy; I don't need you bothering me."
"Relaxing, duh."
The orb pulsed brightly before it sighed and toned down its assault on his eyes.
Kevin scratched his head as he walked back to his dream bedroom, orb in hand. "I don't know. It seems like I have everything I need...I could use a TV, though. Wait, I can just have you do it! Why didn't I think of this before? Orb, search up if there are any TVs in that system or whatever you call it."
"Well, that's just great," he muttered.
He sat down hard on his bed, wondering why this stupid dream wouldn't have a television of all things. What was he going to do now? He stared hard at the wall adjacent to the bed and then frowned. This tower needs more windows. How am I supposed to see what's happening outside?
Then it hit him.
"Core, can I get out of here?"
Silence. Frowning, he poked the orb in his hand. "Core? Tell me if I can get out of this dump."

It pulsed for a split second before it went dark again. Kevin shook the orb vigorously. "An-swer me! An-swer me! An-swer me!"
There was a soft grunt before the voice said,
Kevin flicked the thing and growled, "That's you."
the voice said testily.
"Just shut up and tell me if I can leave or not!"
The voice giggled as the orb shone a bright yellow light into Kevin's eyes. He cried out, dropping the orb onto the bed and rubbing his eyes. Who designed this stupid thing? Why did it have to be so bright?
Kevin refrained from smashing the orb into the wall and said, "Tell me how to get out!"
That was it. Kevin was getting tired of this jerk. It was time to get rid of it―for good. He picked up the core and stomped out of his bedroom.
As if sensing his intentions, the orb started trembling.
"Outside."
Kevin paused and smiled down at the orb in his hand. "So, something bad'll happen to you if someone takes you out of the Tower?"
"Just answer the question, Jeffrey."
The voice groaned and started shaking. Was it trying to avoid answering? Wasn't it supposed to be subservient to him?
Then the orb started heating up. Its temperature turned so unbearably warm, Kevin threw it down the hall towards the door. Then he ducked into the nearby bathroom and shut the door behind him. He was not going to let it explode near him.
After a few stressful seconds, the voice spoke up in a pained voice,
Kevin grinned and poked his head out the door. He saw the orb sitting in a smoking hole on the floor, but that was fine. It wouldn't be here for much longer.
