In what would be the year 2023, Franz is starting to feel like he might be responsible for what can only be described as “the third 2020 in a row.”
“I’ve never been superstitious,” he said, “but after 3 pandemics in a row, I’m starting to think it’s because I broke that mirror in 2019.”
Franz started to notice some things were off when he saw several events of 2020 repeating themselves in consecutive years. “When President Trump killed that Iranian general Qasem Soleimani the first time I was like, ‘Woah, I can’t pronounce that name.’ The second time I was like, ‘Dang, that sounds familiar,’ but by the third time I was 60% convinced it had already happened.”
After Soleimani’s death, other events started repeating. “Every summer, people started talking about murder hornets and everyone was in lockdown making sourdough bread, and then Facebook radicalized everybody’s uncles…Correct me if I’m wrong, but Presidential elections aren’t supposed to happen every year, right?”
The only thing sadder than repeating the same year over and over again is Franz’s inability to go more than a few weeks without breaking at least one mirror. “I’ve broken 27 mirrors over the past 3 cycles of 2020…at this rate I’ll be here for eternity,” he said, “but at least I’ve got Tiger King to look forward to again.”
