Just Your Average Day

"Probability no more!"

Was the slogan stamped repeatedly on the box I had just retrieved from the mailbox; it was small and unassuming, just slightly bigger than the size of my hand and the base, maybe only 2 inches tall. Whatever was inside it, was probably smaller than my phone.

Curious as I was, and with nothing else to do while just lazing around for the day. I open the package and see an odd sight. It looks almost like a flip phone, but it has a knob on the side, like a volume controller on a radio, and the screen looks more like a scrolling text display than a phone screen. The power button is obvious, a large red button on the side by the start of the keyboard.

I start the device and it whirrs to life, sounding like my laptop when I leave it on my bed for too long. The screen scrolls along, now bright white except for where the letters are.

"Input a percent and make a change" is what the text reads as it repeatedly scrolls by.

Alright then.
