TERRIBLE FATE

With a slap 
of congratulations, 

you are told—
congratulations.

You are 
contestant number  

7.1 billion.
You 

will be upgraded. 
You will be made an 

experimental soldier. 
Your unprecedented 

science-fictional endeavor:
to spend your life's remainder 

hurtling headlong 
into the future—

one second 
per second—and then

look us up 
when you get there.
