Trinity

There is no way to beat about the bush.

All life ceased to be.  So, how am I writing this?  I’m not.  I’m speaking directly into your mind.

You wandered into this spot three million years after it happened.  We were waiting.

The radiation levels were safe for you, and you happened to have been born, the Great Mushroom-Cloud only know how, and to whom.  We were waiting.

Our tires sustained no damage.  Even our store was standing.  See those two ghost-like figures on the door?  That’s us. We joined Michelin-in-the-Sky.  We are Roper and Son.

And we’re not friendly.
