Richard looked at Alex, wondering if he had lost his mind. After all, what kind of madman would spout that the world is ending, while keeping his cool like this?
"What do you mean, the world is ending? Is an asteroid about to slam into Earth? Are we on the verge of a global catastrophe? Are aliens coming to invade our world? If you want to speak madness, at least be clear," Richard admonished him, trying to take him seriously.
Alex sighed at his words, knowing this would be the reaction he would get.
"You could say it's a combination of the things you said, in some way."
Then Richard sighed, rubbing his eyes annoyedly.
"Kid. I didn't come here to hear mad talk or joke around. Are you going to be serious about this, or did I waste my time?" Richard's voice was laced with frustration, his patience wearing thin.
Alex scoffed.
