Self-Destruction
It's something you can see in any futuristic movie these days: a self-destructing message of some sort. The message being delivered, a sexy, mysterious female voice delivers the final note, which usually goes something in the lines of, "This message will self-destruct in x seconds". Then comes the usual frantic motions, vain efforts to put some sort of distance between the recipient and the message in the allotted time-frame.
It got me thinking... What if I were to tell people that? What If I were to tell them something in the lines of, "This person will self-destruct in x seconds"; or minutes, or hours, or days even, whichever you prefer. I wonder if I'd see the same sort of anxious reaction. I wonder if everyone would make a run for it, increasing their distance as the seconds go by…
Actually, no. What I'm really wondering is whether anyone would care enough to stay.
