I've decided that what I need to do is add a more consistent creative aspect of my life, and to that end I am going to start trying really hard to do a daily writing exercise based on the theme randomly sent to me by a service called Figment . Today's writing prompt seemed to play directly into my particular inclinations, and because I'm insane there was no way I was going to write a short story or poem – it was going to be a screenplay. Hint: a lot of the upcoming content will be screenplays. Regardless, here's today's prompt and the results. Enjoy! Dialogue "So, what happens if I press this button?" I asked. "Nothing," she replied. I pushed the button, grinning. "It's when you let go that things get nasty." Use these lines as inspiration for a short story or poem.
