00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:02.400 align:middle line:90%
"Apocalypses Past."

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:04.980 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:07.080 align:middle line:84%
After the apocalypse,
we didn't even

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.960 align:middle line:84%
talk about all the crap we'd
read about it before or seen

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:10.920 align:middle line:90%
in movies.

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:14.760 align:middle line:84%
Like we were embarrassed of
our whole species' imagination.

00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.880 align:middle line:84%
Even what we'd gotten right
just seemed lame and obvious.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:20.820 align:middle line:84%
It was a new taboo, talking
about the predictions,

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.390 align:middle line:84%
uncool to do, as opposed to
cannibalism, which was pretty

00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:27.870 align:middle line:84%
reasonable, or wanting
sex, which was necessary,

00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:32.400 align:middle line:84%
heroic even, given the state
of so many of our physiques.

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.070 align:middle line:84%
One night or day
or whatever it was,

00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.590 align:middle line:84%
we were sitting around a
campfire, and I was like,

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:40.200 align:middle line:84%
'What do I keep
trying to remember?'

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.120 align:middle line:90%
And it was ghost stories.

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:44.340 align:middle line:84%
I mean, never in
real life did I ever

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:46.350 align:middle line:90%
actually tell a ghost story.

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:49.590 align:middle line:84%
I just saw it in so many movies
it seemed like, having been

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:51.930 align:middle line:90%
a kid, I must have done it.

00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:55.590 align:middle line:84%
Like stealing cookies from a
jar, which I never did either.

00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:90%
Who has a cookie jar?

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.600 align:middle line:84%
No one ever again,
you could bet on it.

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.420 align:middle line:84%
So there we were, all
fucking and eating each other

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:06.990 align:middle line:84%
by the fire, and I kept having
all these apocalypse stories

00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:10.050 align:middle line:84%
from my childhood right
on the tip of my tongue,

00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:13.500 align:middle line:84%
but for everyone's
sake, I held back."
