Letters From The Time Traveler: 2030- Part 2
--
Dearest Edith,
I lost my pocket watch on a trip to the state formerly known as Florida (now Southern State 1. I’ll go into the dividing of the states in a later letter, it was very similar to the War Between the States of our time.)

But they humored me in this data collection, as long as I kept them anonymous.
They revealed many, many facts, some I will report on later, of preparations the elites were making as far back as 2015. Bill Gates was trying to warn the world of a coming pandemic and everyone laughed at him. Except for Careful B. and his friends.
