Buttons Not Buttons

Buttons are usually small and unimportant. But not always. Sometimes they are a portal to power, freedom, and destruction. Today we thread together tales of taking charge of the little things in life, of fortunes made and lost, and of the ease with which the world can end. Confused? Push the button marked Play. Special thanks for the music of Brian Carpenter's Ghost Train Orchestra

Confused? Push the button marked Play.
