Later, when I finally finished my actual first night’s work at GrewTech I walked across the Car-Park to my little Honda I looked back up at the building, its outline becoming visible in the gray dawning light of a breaking day. The top floor remained darkened, but I saw Cassie waving at me from the break room window, then blowing me a kiss, and I smiled back up and returned the gesture as I drove away.

  Thanks

  Thanks for taking the time to read my story and I hope you’ll forgive the odd typo or grammatical error that slips through. Feel free to tell me about any you find via @edgarmillion . As much as I try to proofread everything, I know I miss errors here and there, and I’ll remove them if you tell me.

  If you follow me at @edgarmillion you’ll get announcements of any upcoming stories or other news, along with occasional complaints about football.

  Finally, if you liked this story, I’d love a review if you have a mo.

  Also, if you like listening rather than reading I publish lots of my stories as podcasts/audiobooks for free here: https://soundcloud.com/edgar-million and on iTunes.

  A Button to Save The World

  The end of the world is nigh. Cities lay in ruins, almost everyone unemployed and global warming threatens to overwhelm us.

  What if you could press a button to make everything alright?

  The time had to come soon though; they had to stop it hitting the tipping point. The point when global temperatures would rise two degrees above the pre-industrial revolution levels, when the Greenland ice sheets would melt and we would begin to burn. Ever more chaotic weather patterns, famine, war and quite possibly end of the humanity. The earth would live on but humanity, our civilisation and history would die screaming.

  What if you could press a button to stop it all? Reverse and even eliminate global warning? Would you?

  Of course you would, but as Patrick K. Useful discovers, saving the Earth has a cost.

  One man has a Button, which when pressed will save the world.

  Patrick K Useful wants to stop him.
