After tomorrow

The gag meme swelled by conversation both broadcast and in person. It was recommended by nine out of ten dentists and their community in fact developed the method of transmission. It was packaged and sold in thin colorful wafers that dissolved into a variety of flavors when placed under the tongue. Each wafer released sixty seconds of seratonin while eliminating the desire to speak. Superstores, restaurants, and endless boutiques became calmer as people took to nodding, each with a tiny roll-back smile pulsing on his face. Vending machine operators hadn't cleaned up like this since the introduction of the lunch meat cracker snack.
