Interface - WSF2023 just for fun

This is what its come to. Waiting. Just waiting.

It's like I'm a damn button on a keyboard... "push when x event happens." Until then, wait. I can't stand it anymore.

Oh, there's no doubt, it's important. What I must do if "x" happens... no one else can do it. At least no one here.

So I wait... just like that button on the keyboard. I have no reason to hit it. So it just sits there... waiting. What the hell, it's like it might as well not exist until I do need it. It could be invisible. Just how I feel.

Look at it... that damn button.

Just sitting there...

I could hover my finger over it just so... barely touching it. I shouldn't push it. That would be wrong. What would happen if I pushed it? In theory, I know. It would be bad. It would make the button 'click' and engage... then it would do what it would ... just as if I had actually had a reason to push it, and did.

But no... can't push it. I can feel the tip of my finger just a whisper away from the button.

I can actually touch it just so lightly that it does not click... there...

I can rest my finger on it and just wait... it's what I do, I wai....

I originally was imaging this to go like a dialogue...

"You see that button?" Just sitting there..." "No don't press it!" But what if you did?"... etc.

But I opted for this because I've been trying to learn how to make 'short' stories actually short.

Many have no idea how hard that is for me.

Thanks...

The whole 'don't push that button' trope is always funny to me....
