Button, Button by Richard Matheson

In this short story, there are three characters: Mr Steward, Mr Arthur, and Mrs Arthur Lewis (Norma). At the very beginning of the story, a package was lying by the front door, despatched by Mr Steward. Inside the package, a push button was covered with a glass dome. Mr Steward called on at 8. P.M said to them, "if they push the button somewhere in the world someone they don't know will die. In return they will get $50,000"   Norma tried to convince her husband to push the button to fulfil her desires, but Mr Arthur Levis opposed her. He called it 'murder someone. Anyhow, Arthur didn't like his offer and returned the button unit. Afterwards, Norma called Mr Seward and he returned the unit. She kept it in the kitchen without informing her husband. 

Finally, she pushed the button in the absence of her husband. Coincidently, she received a call from the Hill Lenox Hospital. The voice informed her about the subway accident, a shoving crowd pushed Arthur in front of the train and died. She rushed to see the package that she had thrown in the wastebin after pushing the button. She spilt the package and was surprised to see that was no wire, no tube, and no transistor. The box was empty. Nothing did happen when she pushed the button because it had no connection anywhere. She remembers Arthur's life insurance worth $25,000 which would be double in compensation for his death. The last sentence is very iron when Steward replied to Norma: "My dear lady," he said.

They truly follow and seek the will of Allah almighty.  They only deserve His paradise. Today, almost everyone speaks of his moral behaviour. His relationship with every member of h
