He pointed at the empty slot, then inhaled in.
His eyes went wide and shook his head.
The suited man sighed. “Congratulations, we’re all dead,”
“Why would you think this idea was good?”
“Take the deadliest plague and hide it in food?”
“I didn’t think anyone was that stupid or bold
enough to eat expired food over a year old.”
