And now Aaron?!? I've seen enough genre films to know this had to be a hallucination. Or Clones. Or Hallucinatory clones.
"Aaron, old pal! I haven't seen you since the robot attacks in 2011!"
We kept in touch via mutant carrier pigeons... but there was no sure way of telling if aaron actually sent those messages on those 3 winged birds. Sure, he wrote them on Fred Myer receipts... but anyone could have known about THAT trick. Communicating in this futuristic wasteland was always a gamble.
Always.
