"It's not that bad," Leo says. "Dude, we have no fucking air condition for the summer, and just seeing how hot it's going to get I can clearly see it's going to be a mega drought and heatwave," Taurus says.
"And we have no internet," the Drifter adds. "No school," I say. "You know something I used to hate school but boy do I wish for some homework," Taurus says.
"So about this storm front," I say. The Drifter shrugs.
"Could be severe or it could just be a little light rain. All I know is when it was raining like this and the sun was still out on that faithful day on the 17th, a F7 tornado came across the western states," she says.
"Oh yeah I heard that on the news," Leo says.
"Yeah, and did you guys hear about that acid rain in Louisiana?," Taurus says.
The Drifter makes a sad look on her face as Leo puts his head down. I simply listen to the stories.
"The rain was horrible, took down all of the trees, killed half of the wildlife, and killed just about a billion people," Taurus in amazement. I look at her and I shudder.
"So the acid rain it only happened to the southern states?," Leo asks. "Surprisingly, yes," Taurus says. "But acid rain can not harm humans," the Drifter says.
"That's the thing, before the scientists died. They tested the rain, the acid within the rain was the type that burns us," Taurus says.
"That's impossible," I blurt out loud. "Tell it to the deceased scientists and news reporters, because people went to hospitals coming in with severe burns. They died minutes after they came in," Taurus says to me.
"Dust storms came and devastated the states with deserts, then the Midwest got flooding and tornadoes," Taurus says.
Taurus looks at me. "So how you managed to get here from the Midwest has really surprised me," the Drifter says. "Trust me, it's surprised me too," I say.
