I found the present sitting on my table. I approached it much like a rabbit might approach a lion. Once I finally got close enough, I tried to lift it. My hands went right through. In response to my movement, it glitched and twitched. It was a hologram. A loud BEEEEEP!!! rang in my ears, and it nearly shattered the windows. A recording of Brain's voice came from somewhere. "This is a test. This is only a test. Had this been an actual present, you still would not have gotten anything. This has only been a test." BEEEEEEEEP!!!
