Alrighty, hello my darlings!
So, actually posting at a semi-reasonable hour. And actually awake, which is new, as we know I haven't been sleeping well lately...yeah...
Anyway, this chapter is based upon tonight's episode, which was amazing, btw. If you've not seen it, shame on you do not read this any more...well, yes, read it, you just won't have any idea what I'm talking about...yeah.
So, I actually felt really bad for that little chicken-dance singing cube in the episode...y'all know the one I'm talking about...so I wrote my chapter about him/her...it. It kinda depressed me to write, to be perfectly honest, and it's a bit short...again...but not terrible, I hope. Pity the cube..!
I love you all! Thanks for staying with me for all this time, still...despite the chapter lengths...
Stay amazing!

In Which…
The Cube Sings
Generic black cube number six billion two thousand and eleven sat sedentary on the ground, not doing anything in particular, not being anything in particular…it just sat there on the sidewalk, watching people walk past it. Well…not really watching, per say, as it didn't have eyes, but you get the point.
Anyway, this cube was not like the other cubes. It wasn't happy with just sitting there waiting for something to happen, though cubes felt no emotions at all and could not, therefore, be 'happy'. It wanted to be different…to be special.
It wanted to sing.
So, after almost a year of waiting, the day where the cubes would be activated arrived. Cube six-billion-two-thousand-eleven was so nervous that it wouldn't be able to sing, but it was excited to…it would finally be different. It would finally feel special…
Upon the activation, the cube opened up its receptors and began to play music at the top of its speakers, singing loud and proud the song that would make the humans happy too…all it wanted was to make the humans happy.
"Why is that cube playing the chicken-dance song?" asked one of the humans as it walked past, talking to its mate.
"I don't know…that's weird," it responded and the cube felt its non-existent heart drop. The humans didn't like its singing…he was a failure…
Cube number six billion two thousand and eleven was brought to a strange place and locked alone in a vault, alone with its song, where it sat there and cried tiny black tears as it sang, continuing to sing until it went into hibernate…
