“What’s in the bag?”<\/p>\n
“A Quantum Singularity.”<\/p>\n
“Really? Where’s you get it?”<\/p>\n
“Corner store. Got a great deal on it.”<\/p>\n
“The store on the corner of North and Main?”<\/p>\n
“Yup.”<\/p>\n
“You get a certificate for it?”<\/p>\n
“Nope. Like I said, it was a great deal.”<\/p>\n
“So how do you know it’s the real deal?”<\/p>\n
“Don’t. But figured it was worth a try.”<\/p>\n
“Christ, you’re insane<\/em>. That could kill you.”<\/p>\n “Aw, it’s not that bad. Those PSAs always exaggerate the danger of everything. Anyway, I’m gonnna open it here in a couple minutes. You wanna try some?”<\/p>\n “Hell no! I’m not a fool. Tell me you’re not going to try it here–you know there’s kids around the building.”<\/p>\n “It’ll be fine. He told me it was totally localized.”<\/p>\n “Shit. Gimme five minutes before you open that thing so I can get the hell away from here.”<\/p>\n “Whatever. See ya.”<\/p>\n “I doubt it.”<\/p>\n Barely made it down the block before I heard the soft pop<\/em> and knew things had gone badly. Turned back around and saw a chunk of the building just missing. Thank god it looked like it was restricted to his apartment and hadn’t expanded further. <\/p>\n Turned around and kept on walking, the sirens wailing before I even turned the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “What’s in the bag?” “A Quantum Singularity.” “Really?
