Natsumi held a small pair of wire-cutters in one trembling hand. She wiped sweat from her brow with her free hand, and stared at a fiendish tangle of wires.

Is it the red wire or the blue wire?, she thought. I can never remember which wire to cut first... and time is running out.

Oh well, she thought, you only live once.

Natsumi impulsively cut the red wire. Her television set suddenly shorted out with a POP! and a small sad puff of smoke.

Aw, man, Natsumi thought. I hope Miyuki can fix this before I miss all my shows.
