Another sci-fi short for you. This one is by John Scalzi and it is a great one in my opinion. Pretty sure there is a YouTube video someone made for this so if that's your thing check it out. Hope you enjoy!

It was animated as part of Love Death + Robots and narrated by Maurice LaMarche!

Oh crap I forgot about that! I knew it was animated at some point.

I loved that episode ! One of the few I watched multiple times (together with the zombie apocalypse)

What's truly scary is that I might not be able to eat yogurt out of fear :(
