“I was right, Max. The numbers and the science don’t lie. The real numbers and the real science that is. I was concerned about it back in 2020. Nobody else was though. I was told it was a statistical impossibility,” He paused for another sip from his glass before continuing. “I ran my concerns as far up the pole as I could, but I was always told the same thing. They said that better and brighter people than me were looking into it, and they weren’t concerned. Again, it was statistically impossible.”
“I think I might have missed some important parts of this conversation,” I looked back to the bar and could see Kim handling things on her own. I decided to sit in the seat ponytail had vacated.
“You weren’t the only one, Max. All of them missed it. Their superstars, their better and brighter scientists, they all missed it too. They left me to carry the burden of being right.”
“Right about what?”
“You see them kids out there having a great time? Dancing, mingling, just enjoying life, without a care in the world,” He swept the entirety of the bar and dance floor with his hand before looking at me.
“Yeah? What about ‘em?”
“What if I told you that in another month, two at the most, and the majority of them will be dead?”
“Um…..what?” I stammered.
“It’s the perfect storm, Max. It’s still gathering strength, but it’s coming.”
