The Rubik Cube

by jmdg1954



 
 
 
 

I found a Rubik Cube in a box labeled “Misc” at the church bazaar. 

At home I spent hours rotating it clockwise, counterclockwise, vertically and horizontally trying to align the colors. Unsuccessful, I tossed it aside. 

The following morning, news coverage was in a state of mass hysteria: Earth now rotated clockwise causing the sun to rise in the west and set in the east. While the Sahara froze over, polar icecaps were ablaze. The rain forest dried and South America reconnected to Africa. 

I eyed the rubik cube as it glowed orange. 

"Oh my God! What have I done?"
