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...

OK.
In November when I was on tech-free month, a friend of mine whos read the series printed off each blog post Derek did in November and gave them to me.
When my friends saw me reading one of them, they asked what it was. I told them and said that I was obsessed.
They told the teacher.
He laughed.
Oh my goodness, this was amazing! The bit at the end made me laugh though XD But such a good story! :D
I'm glad we lived to read it :P

Helloooooo, Everyone!!! :) Well, if the world does end, I just wanna say, Derek, Your books are the best I've EVER read and all those book reviewers who gave you a bad review? I'm deeply sorry for them that they never saw what awsomeness your books contained before the world ended. I'm sorry I never got a chance to go to any of your book signings or anything... But it's been a pleasure reading the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Best of luck, Kim (Mini Einstein).
Bye Chloe!!!

What a great little story. You've inspired me to write one for this end of the world day. I think it shall star Thunderbug; the epic farting pug.
Hey guys, just finished reading the story.
hey eden!
If anyone sees Death or has her email or knows where she's floating about... please tell her to email me!!
I need to urgently speak with her!!
I know her email, it's dannilivo@gmail.com I think I'll check.
Hey mel.
*Hums Christmas carols* I got out of school at ten thirty today.
I got to go down town with my friends and get subway for lunch.
Hello, Eden.
10:30!? I got out at 12:45... :/
BUT I HAVE A STICKER ON MY FACE, SO ALL'S GOODDDDD
Every other year stayed till half twelve but first years got off early because we only had an Irish exam.
Uh oh.
I think I collapsed from the sheer awesomeness.
Also, hi guys!
Hello person whom I have not met before.
Well hello there Eden! We-Survived-The-Apocalypse-Congratulations!
Thank you, this would have been a good time to wear my I survived y2k t shirt.
that was amazing!
Plus, I'm alive!
Here's to living.
Ducktor Derek!!! *hands him a fez* IT'S SNOWINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
THE WORLD IS ENDING :O
America screwed up...
*points to Zaf* I um.. I blame her? *sorry Zaf, you ARE grand mage ;)*
Hello Luna!

Humph. Disapointment.
Hello anyone that appeared! :)
Luciana!! Woop heya!!
Hello, Charisma! :)
How are you, my dear?
OMG, this was worth the wait, can't wait till the next one Derek :3
That, Mr. Landy, was brilliant.
'ellos?
That story was amazing *nods*. I wondered why I hadn't died yet, but yeah, 49 hours around the world, so there's still time...
I'm good thanks! We-Survived-The-Apocalypse Congratulations! Still scared about the Scapduggery fanfcition ........... and the ships-that-are-so-scary-Derek-thinks-they're-weird ............
I'm west-coast America, so I'll be pretty close to the first to know.-_-
No snow in Ireland.
I'm dreaming of but not getting a white Christmas.
It just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow.
IEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
