war and soup
Have you read War and Peace? Spoiler Alert: It’s boring.
If you are worried about the impending End of the World, I agree, it is a troubling thought. You actually think about it more than you let on, and it’s only worrisome because you don’t want to be there when it actually happens. Well, like War and Peace, it will be a long, boring, strung out affair. Final yes, swift no.
Soup will be at the end of the world. People will fight for it and soldiers will be tasked to defend it. The Energy Wars will shift from concern to pleasant distraction. If you concern yourself with one vital commodity it is surprisingly easy to forget another, and when you realise you have the priority wrong it’s just easier to keep it as it is.
Mobile, convenient, quick and nutritious will be the thoughts at the back of your mind during the daily scavenge. Gone are the days when you might of found a ration pack hiding under a fallen building or even wedged beneath a dead body.
Back at basecamp it becomes marginally more edible as you combine your spoils with those of your comrades into a single concoction, masking the taste of the more dubious elements. The dubious elements are made secret, but you know that it is one secret not worth knowing.
When approaching the light at the end of the tunnel we all suddenly remember that the calorie is a unit of energy. We all die with smiles on our faces.
