Soylent Operating Systems

After a pleasant meal, something I hadn't had in years, the screen jerked into position slowly. On it, it asked for my preferred option.


'Peaceful, dignified death' was the first option, it was also the largest and it was preselected.


Beneath it was "Attempt to win more time", with a physical and mental option. Both had asterisks that contained the fine print that I knew made them practically impossible to win.


But it seemed like that was my only choice, until I noticed that the screen had a scroll button.


Or, rather, an enter button looking like a scroll button.
