《Behavioural Tutor》44 // Red Button
Advertisement
Tommy cautiously moved closer to the screen. This was going to effect... a lot of people. The blonde could feel his eyes glassing up; causing him to rub a shaking hand over his face.
"It's time, Toms." Tommy looked over to where Dream was standing. He seemed to be hovering over a small red button (in a glass box) next to a keyboard. The man quickly typed what was probably a lengthy and complicated password into the machine, before the glass casing popped off and the button lit up. "After you push this, we'll have exactly four minutes to escape the building and get out of the fire zone. Do you want to do the honours?"
In any other situation, Tommy would have laughed at that question. Why would anyone willingly do the honours? But, of course, this was his father - the man he'd lived in fear of his whole life. All Tommy could muster was a weak shake of his head.
"I wasn't asking." Tommy knew this. Dream knew this. He couldn't win against him. With a firm grip, Dream grabbed Tommy's hand and steadily lead it over to the button.
No no no no no no no no no this couldn't be happening! Not now! Not ever! But it was.
Slowly and inevitably, Tommy felt his hand move closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Click.
As soon as a click was heard, Dream spun around and twisted a door handle Tommy hadn't known existed. In all the commotion, he hadn't really had a chance to look around at the rest of the room; and he wasn't going to. The door swung open and Tommy found himself being pushed out with great force. He felt himself being yanked through corridors with such speed he became completely disorientated... not that we would have known where he was if they were moving more slowly.

Tommy was being half dragged, half carried, half just repeatedly falling over and half stumbling over his own feet.
After what felt like ten seconds (thought was actually more like a minute and a half) Tommy was outside the hospital, getting shoved into a car. It was sleek, black and looked relatively new. It wasn't anything too fancy - probably as to not draw attention - but was in much better condition than the car Tommy had grown up with Dream owning.
Just as Tommy was getting pushed into the back seat, a yell was heard from behind Dream. He twisted his head to see who it was in such a manner that blocked the figure from Tommy's view.
"Hey! Leave the kid outa this!"
Dream smirked but continued working with haste. He slammed car door - effectively trapping Tommy inside - while moving around to the front in order to to get in himself.
"Give up Techno, we've won." Tommy immediately perked up at the mention of his name. Hadn't Dream 'dealt with him'? What was he doing here? He was alive! The thought of banging on the window crossed his mind, but then the harsh reality set in. It didn't really matter if Technoblade was here. The bomb was going off and they couldn't stop it. It was well and truly over.

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!
