Breaking News: Cushion Slightly to the Left
Share
A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.
Roo interrupted the scheduled program with an urgent bulletin. A cushion had moved approximately three inches.
Kit reported live from the sofa.
'We can confirm it was previously farther right.'
The screen displayed an arrow, a circle, and the words Developing Situation.
A panel of stuffed animals discussed the implications. One suggested the cushion had always wanted a change. Another questioned the measurement.
Then someone sat down and moved it back.
Kit touched an imaginary earpiece. 'A dramatic reversal.'
Roo requested a retrospective documentary.
By bedtime, the channel had aired six interviews and a special called Three Inches That Changed Nothing.
The cushion declined to participate. It was under contract with a rival network, which had promised a quieter interview and no arrows.
