The Button

This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.

And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...



And it has now been taken down... only to reappear in the Skulduggery Pleasant Collection of short stories and novellas, available... um... some time in the spring of 2014...

Cadilac :P

Unknown said...

AM I RIGHT?!?! STAR?!

Star Inkbright said...

. . . See? I've never heard of a Cadilac.

Unknown said...

Nah. I just told my dad.

Unknown said...

I CHEATED.


Anyone here?

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs patiently* It's part of the songgggg. The man is trying to work out his crossword, and he thinks it could be a "big American car" if I didn't have a D here:

C _ _ D _ _ C

And the word is cardiac. Just to make the song creepier.

. . . Coz the song's called Cardiac Arrest and in the next verse, the man (who is btw on the bus on his way to work) has a heart attack. :/

Poor man. 'What about the wife and kids/They all depend on me.'

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

So do you.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

yes it does...
i'm lookin at the cheats for it...

I just look at cheats and life is happy


YAY CHEATS!

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Shrugs.

Calidae Dark said...

So, what is it? Like, what is the game....

Star Inkbright said...

Je déteste le pain au chocolat.

Pourtant, j'adore le pain et j'adore le chocolat. :/

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

you start out with 4 elements and then you have to mix them together to get other things until you get all the things...

i know

i have AMAZING explainifying skills..

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Gonna sounds stupid but...what's doodle god? :/

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

You start with air fire water and earth and mix them together to create stuff and mix that together to create mor stuff. And so on.

Calidae Dark said...

I love pan au chocolats though!
But bread on its own, and chocolate on his own, is better.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

STAR! Pour quoi tu deteste le pain au chocolat??

Calidae Dark said...

I found it.
I thought it said 14/15
Turns out it was 14/115.

Star Inkbright said...

Je déteste le pain au chocolat car . . .

I used to have them loads. J'ai mangé beaucoup de pain au chocolat? If I have something lots, I stop liking it. Aussi, parce que je don't like the chocolate inside. It's all blergh. C'est dégoûtant.

Pourquoi tu j'aime le pain au chocolat? :)

Calidae Dark said...

YES! I just thought about it for a bit.... then got a fairly important element. Life.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Star Inkbright said...

Um. I would say the French or German for okay, but I'm pretty sure that in both languages 'okay' is 'okay.' :/

Calidae Dark said...

Star Inkbright said...

Deutch is German for German. :)

I was born in Amsterdam.My parents can sort of speak Dutch ish. My mum says she speaks what she calls "Teletubby Dutch" - toddler/baby-related Dutch.

She says that even though she's had two kids since living in Holland with me as a baby, then whenever she's with babies she automatically starts speaking in Dutch as well as English. :P

Random insight on my life . . .

I don't speak Dutch. :(

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Energy air I think.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Energy + air = storm
