111 Flag System (1/2)
Clicking on it revealed the image of a single small rectangular flag. It consisted of nine alternating horizontal stripes of blue and white, with a blue square in the top left corner bearing a white cross. It was the flag of Greece.
”Why is this here?” Ben stared at the flag. Noticing it was glowing, he selected it.
*Woosh*
Out of nowhere, a sound emitted a few feet from him, in the middle of the room. He gazed in its direction and discovered something that shouldnt have been there, something new and frightening–a small black ball of pure chaos…
Its form was a maelstrom of nothing and everything. Sometimes it was shiny, sometimes matte. At times it was calm, at other moments furious. Things poked out of it, bending its skin like it was the w.o.m.b of a demonic creature fighting to be born.
Bens face turned pale when he heard it release piercing shrieks!
Yet, the most frightening aspect of it wasit was growing!
At a shocking pace, the ball expanded from the size of a gr.a.p.efruit to a basketball…
When it reached the size of a beach ball, Ben began to panic and question if he should escape!
Noticing his unease, the system tried to assuage him.
[This is fine]
”Theres nothing f*cking fine!” Ben stood up and prepared to run, but when he looked at the shambolic sphere of disorder, it was already as big as a gym stability ball!
Fearing it would soon swallow the room and him, Ben sprinted towards its side!
Yet, as he approached, the ball moved to block his path!
Making an abrupt stop, Ben then tried circling the other way.
But the ball jumped out in front again!
He moved left, it moved left!
He moved right, it moved right!
He moved left again, you f*cking know where it went!
Pretty soon, Ben was trying to throw it off using random football shakes hed seen on TV! But this damn thing stuck to him like an NFL safety!
Ben knew he couldnt pass, and he didnt dare touch this blob in fear of getting sucked into hell on the Event Horizon!
So he took the only option left. He doubled back and glanced out the window, searching for an escapebut it was too high up! There was no fire escape!
When he glanced back at the globe of havoc, it almost reached the ceiling…
Now, Ben could make out sinister faces of distortion pressing out the black skin as if l.u.s.ting after his meat!
Soon, however, the ball stabilized
It stopped expanding, the skin flattened and tightened, and it ceased releasing sounds. After a few seconds, it just sat there, waiting
Bens hammering heartbeat started to slow, but he didnt let his guard down. ”What the hell was that?” he asked the system.
[Willy]
”.What is even happening?” Yet, before Ben could begin to cope with the current situation, there was a further development.
