Aftermath, No. 11

January 1, 2040

It’s the new year. 

The death toll has reached four billion, nine hundred fifty-seven million, two hundred and three thousand, four hundred and six. A year has passed, and half of all the humans who were alive last year, died of the plague. China didn’t just have an outbreak, it disappeared. It took nine days for the plague to kill a country. 

That’s where I’m flying to tomorrow, I just have to get new filters for my mask first.
