Drabble Challenge #76

Prompt: crash

“DONE!” she says. “I never thought I’d finish writing this screenplay. Now, what to name it? Hmm.. how about ‘Crash Of Titans’.”

She starts typing and the screen goes dark. “Oh no! What happened to my story?”

“’Crash’ is a new security command that tells the machine to self-destruct. We’ve been making bets on who would get the first call about it, and I won.”
