“If our civilization was suddenly wiped out by the impact of a gigantic rock from space, the only thing future archeologists would find out about us is that we all carried cellphones and our hands were shaped oddly because of a much used tool these days. The computer mouse.”, He yelled again.
People walking on the sidewalk below stopped and looked up at the chubby man standing on the ledge who was yelling crazy things.
A crowd formed and police and firetruck sirens raced down the streets to get to him.
“Don’t do it!” Someone in the crowd yelled.
