Why Humans Went Extinct
by Christopher T. Dabrowski
Translated from Polish by Julia Mraczny
Everything indicated humans were extinct.
"I think we've overdone it with the COVID-19," the alien nervously scratched his striations.
"I heard they went extinct because of some Tiktok, whatever that is," spoke up his companion.
"They were generally weak. Hardly any could produce the abs, let alone carve striations on their brains…"
"Nothing for us here. Move – the leader interrupted him and sighed at the memory of the good old days when, millions of years ago, he agreed with the ape leader to tweak them genetically."
He bribed him with a banana container.
They vaccinated the monkeys, who became humans.
