Gary Was Right

Subject profile

Meet Gary

Gary has spent decades waiting for cosmic disclosure. Most nights this involves a bathrobe, several homemade sensors, a folding lawn chair, three radios that probably interfere with each other, and enough aluminum foil to trigger commodity markets.

Humanity thinks Gary has lost his mind. Gary thinks humanity has lost its mind.

He is not merely an idiot. Sometimes he misreads a weather balloon. Sometimes he sees a conspiracy in a parking ticket. But disturbingly often, Gary turns out to be correct, and the aliens keep recognizing him by name. Nobody knows why. Possibly not even Gary.
