[ WP ] You find a button . Words are written on it . It reads : `` Please Click Me ''

Sure it was a curious thing. A random button, on HIS kitchen table. It was rather large and green. He always pictured this things being red as if to ward off potential pressers, but this button actually encouraged him - in fact, it had *manners*. *Please Click Me*, the button read. He wondered why such a thing would even bother saying `` please'' as if it NEEDED him to press it. Now, Theo was n't much for adventure. Actually, he had just sat down for his evening decaf ( you can tell a lot about a man by his tastes in coffee ) when he first noticed the button. 
 
 As if to be clever, Theo lifted the object to see if his was connected to anything... no, it was simply a metal box with a large green button. No wires, no plugs, no switches, no batteries, no nothing. He could n't even find screws or bolts to hold the thing together. He set the object down and stared at it intently. Why was it here? Who put it here? What could it do if he pressed it? Well, no matter. He sat forward in his car and picked up his hand, ready to click the button. 
 
 Then he stopped. 
 
 What if THIS was n't the right button? What it someone had placed several other buttons around and one of them was the RIGHT one? You see, Theo got it in his head that clicking this button would bring some sort of value to him, maybe monetary compensation. And, his father always told him that nothing worth having comes easy - so why would it be sitting right in front of him? Theo spent the next several moments searching around his apartment for some sort of clue only to come up with nothing. 
 
 This, he concluded, was THE button - the ONLY button. So what could this button possible do for him? Well, it had to do SOMETHING after all. Otherwise, it would n't be a button and it would n't be asking someone to click it! Theo could n't comprehend a button that did nothing, that would be absurd. Buttons are there to make some sort of task easier, so we do n't have to manually connect any wires or change currents. Theo thought long and hard. Yes, he would do it. He would press it and no matter what happens he would continue to live his life the same way he lived it before. No matter if the button bestowed millions of dollars or gave him a new car. 
 
 He pressed it. 
 
 The familiar click of the button receding into the metal box gave him that satisfying sound. He waited a few moments, and waited a few more. He did n't FEEL different, and he certainly did n't see anything different. Theo ran to his window and looked outside. No, no new car in the street. Hmm, maybe he needed to press it again. 
 
 YOU STUPID FOOL. 
 
 You just turned it off. Whatever was happening is off now. Look what you've done. Theo calmed himself down and waited a few more moments. And it clicked it again. 
 
 Now, you've definitely done it. 
 
 Whatever magic was there is gone, and you ruined it just like your marriage. 
 
 Theo was inconsolable. He was also not a very violent man and quickly internalized his temper. 
 
 9:30 
 
 It was time to leave this nonsense and get some rest. He had work the next day and needed his sleep for that presentation on Thursday. 
 
 Theo left the kitchen leaving the button on the table, and turned the lights off. 
 
 It probably did n't do anything anyways.
