PSE - Flash Fiction (With A Fun Game)
That was all that the bottle said. PSE. Three letters. The man was left alone with it. He was told it could be very good if he drank it. He was told it could also be very bad. It was up to the man if he should drink it or not. He looked around the room. It was all white except for a television screen which was off.
The instructions were as follows. There was a trigger on the door. When the man opened it the television would come up and tell the man what was in the bottle. The contents of the bottle would also disappear, if they had not been drunk. The bottle, which would heat up when the trigger was tripped, would turn the liquid into vapour. That was all the man had to go on.
He sat for a minute to think about it. The liquid could be anything. It could give him superpowers... it could be poison. The man thought of his life. He was in his mid 30s and did not have the best luck. He was happy with his job but he had yet to find the one. Maybe this would make him irresistable to women.
The man did like to gamble. They wouldn't poison him, he thought. People knew where he was. No. They wouldn't. At worst he would get a stomach ache for a few days. But green wasn't a good colour for a liquid...
The man decided. He would drink it. He took the top off and tossed it back. It had no taste. He waited. Nothing happened. What a rip off he thought. He moved to the door and opeend it with his right hand. There was a sound of a beep. The man turned to the screen. His heart almost stopped when he saw what PSE stood for.

Haha! I really liked the hook at the end! Very entertaining indeed. You kept the suspense just long enough until the ending. Again, there are still some missing letters * cough * t * cough *, but this had fewer grammatical errors, which is great. I really don't want posts to not be considered just because of technicality, so I hope you get a chance to correct the errors soon :D Nice job on this one. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks @jedau, I don't know if you're interested but I'm trying to start a group for content makers and want you to know you are invited if you wish to join:

If not that is cool too :)
Oh wow, that's a great initiative! I've read through it, and I recognize @ebryans, it's cool that he's a part of it as well. Since it doesn't look like there's a huge commitment needed for it, count me in :D I'm honored that you considered me for this. Let me know when the auto-voting needs to be set up.
Might I add a few other points though. 100% upvote for those involved and maybe comment on each other's posts. Votes are already handled by curation and voting trails, so 24 votes doesn't seem like a lot, but the comments would help in increasing a post's visibility. Imagine, 24 comments for a young post. That would be huge! And, it would definitely make it trending. Of course, comments are not automated, so it would be added work, but it would be beneficial for those involved. Even one or two sentence comments would be enough I think. What do you think?
Sweet @noganoo just joined as well. I will make a post tomorrow with you and his name on it. I can add the idea to the post and see what people think. Any activity to a post can help it.
Let me know if you add me and I will add you right now, I have steemvoter.com open. I will let the others know to add you tomorrow.
The group is still young and forming so we can figure it out as we go. But I think if we get enough of us helping each other it can make a big difference.
And I see what you mean by 24 not being a lot but I think it can add up at the start. The goal is to get our stuff on the hot page which in turn will give it a chance to trend. And as we all grow, those 25 accounts will start to gain some voting weight.
Yeah, but what I meant was, comments > votes . Nowadays, it's easy to get votes especially when the post is picked up by trails. Sure, it's not "easy" easy, but you get my point haha! The one thing that automated voting can't accomplish is the interaction within a post. Personally, I try to interact on other people's post for a time but completely stop when they don't take the time leaving comments on my posts. I only follow a few people, because only those few people have taken the time to leave comments on my posts.
I don't have steemvoter configured yet, but I'll set it up as soon as the others do. I've been burned before by supporting others who didn't give me the same amount of support here, so I'm a bit wary about it happening again.
I hear you @jedau, I will keep that in mind when I read your posts. :)
Well how about this, when you are ready let me know and I will auto-upvote you. Then you can auto-upvote me after. We can post and bug the others after that and you can add them after they add you. I'm not worried about people being dishonest but everyone is on their own schedule and it can take time to get it right.

I like the positive @kristy1, such a caregiver :p. You could've went subliminal or subjugate and went the mind control route.
Thank you. Tried to stay true to the original story. I liked it a lot btw.
Thanks @kristy1 :)
