Our friendly chat seemed to dissipate into an uncomfortable silence. I guess there was no way to ignore the heavy atmosphere after the day we had. There was only so much light conversation could distract from almost being kidnapped again and a PTSD episode. Still, this was definitely preferable to what could have been.
"Do either of you think it is strange how we are trying to distract from the fact that our government is fucked up?" I was always one to just address the elephant in the room.
"To be fair, it is the end of the world." Ent said while pouring himself another glass."
"Is it though?" I wasn't sold on this being the end of the world. It had definitely changed and not all of it was sunshine and roses, but there were some aspects that were better. For instance, technology has advanced so far that a deadly injury can now be patched up in an afternoon.
