“Can you believe this shit? Look at all these cars. How come the freeway's so clogged?”
“We're not the only people who think we can find a cooler place to live on the California coast.”
“It would be great if they all drove nice and slow and careful. That way we can all get there.
“The heat is making people crazy, you know. I figure all these people are armed. We'd better take it easy.”
“Fuck 'em. I have my AR. I'm not worried."
“Looks like someone's run out of gas up ahead.”
“I see him. Holding up a gas can. Hah. Good luck with that.”
“Oh, shit. That big pickup is pushing him out of the way. Get down! The guy's got an AR. Jesus! He just shot the pickup driver.”
“Get the AR. I'm going around on the right! Shoot anybody that gets in the way.”
“Dad! Dad! That guy is aiming at us.”
“Urck. Ooough!"
“You motherfucker! You just killed my father!”

We humans have an inexhaustible capacity to avoid thinking about what the end times really will be like. The Amazon is burning, but at least Sonoma County is not burning. Oh, yeah. That. Well it was two years ago. Alaska? Yeah it's burning but that's almost as far away as Brazil. Reality is a bitch. These little scenarios I'm posting are an attempt to break through the denial. Maybe we can all get to Acceptance.
