The Nothing Box

The Nothing Box (Alex Mardas,1966)

This box does something. It blinks and that’s all.

Try it on your desk. You’ll find people thinking you’ve got a compact computer, a spy-system or signals from one of your Conflict of Interest firms.

Let us warn you that unless you use an axe you can’t turn it off. It will keep winking its 8 eyes in no recognizable pattern and for no apparent reason for nearly a year.

Then it’s dead as a mackerel and you can’t get it fixed.
