The End Of The World Button

The tests Worlpin the Wonderful had set to become his apprentice were difficult. So difficult in fact that in twenty years, not one man, woman or child had come close to passing them.

So imagine my annoyance when some other guy passed all of them too.

Worlpin was showing us both around his home when he pointed to a button on the wall.

“End of the world button I made, don’t press.”

The other guy nodded, while my frustration boiled over.

“Why the hell do you even have that button? That’s stupidly dangerous!”

Worlpin smiled.

“You’re hired!” he told me.
