Cones

Have you ever wondered about mundane objects like I do?

Tomorrow, all across the world, every orange traffic cone will vanish.

Then, three seconds later, they will reappear just as suddenly as they vanished.

Nobody will realize that they've been gone.

They've trained us not to notice.

Over the decades, the traffic cones have been watching us, manipulating us, learning our weaknesses.

They especially like construction zones. They think we're at our most interesting there.

When construction begins on something, they show up. Then, when it's done, they hang around for a little bit before moving on to somewhere else.

They also like watching driving lessons, just for danger's sake.
