Up from the vaults
The day that all life on Earth ended, Ben Morris was having his lunch, outside the vaults, down in the depths of the bank, where he worked as a teller.

This was, without a doubt, going into his “Post-Apocalyptic Journal: Twww.onedoor.cche First Textbook For A New Generation” (the title was long, but he thought it had a nice, satirical ring to it).“I’m the only human alive in this entire world, and you would think a random Costco in Death Valley would have a better stock of Hot Cheetos.”Since the catastro...
