79 words

So esquire has this short story competition. Write a 79 word short story. I submitted one. This isn't it, but I am enjoying the challenge:

A 30-block radius was choked with National Guard. Inside the apartment, Brian sat down on Rocky’s couch.

“Can we talk about it?” he asked, gesturing towards the doomsday device.

“No. Would you like a brownie?” Rocky pushed the plate of brownies towards Brian.

“Very cake-like.” Brian mused.

“Exactly. That’s why I’m going to set the whole world on fire.”

“You’re going to end the world over brownies?”

“They were supposed to be fudge-like.”

He sighed and pushed the button.
