The Red Button

I was at the park with my friend Kyle one day on the weekend because he was spending the whole week with me. Me and Kyle were playing on two red swings, with the wind whistling in our faces looking up at the red sunset with the leaves rustling on the ground. But all of the sudden a man came up out of nowhere to me and my friend and said don't press the red button and dropped a red button there and left. Me and my friend were thinking about pressing it and we ended up doing it. The whole rest of the day was nothing out of the ordinary. We even went to get two slushes from the local gas station. We got red cherry flavor. But the next day we woke up normally and were pretty bored so we decided to go to the park again. We both decided to swing again and it was pretty fun. But then all of the sudden Kyle said wait, why is the swing blue? I said ummm I don’t know, wasn't it red yesterday? We both noticed the leaves on the trees looked like a light bluish green. even though it was summer. me and my friend were freaked out from all this and ended up going back home. My Papa asked if we wanted to go to the gas station and obviously we said of course. We wanted to. red again. Me and Kyle sat in the car but my Papa said there was only blue and we said eh ok that's fine. And we all decided to go outside and lay in the grass and look at the sky but today it was a bright blue sky. Me and Kyle were kinda getting creeped out from this so we stayed inside and read our favorite book No Slam Dunk with red characters but this time we noticed something? The people didn't have red clothes on, they had blue. My friend and I were panicking. We thought what did this button do to our lives? Are we gonna be like this forever?
