Max

Max Gross was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, a tiny wedge of a country between Argentina and Brazil. At age four he immigrated to Melbourne with dreams of becoming a rockstar.When it all finally came crashing down, Max found himself living a life without meaning or purpose. So Max headed for the Ballarat to contemplate his existence.However, every evening his meditations are interrupted by mysterious lights plaguing the night sky. They are so mesmerizing that Max enters into a trance-like state. But just as Max is beginning to lift off the ground, a cobra lunges from the darkness and bites him right in the neck!"Good morning to you too," says the reptile, "And have been sent from the future to find you." "Me?" Max asks, flattered and excited at the possibility of validating his existence."Am I supposed to save the world!?" "Not exactly. You see, there is no salvation." The cobra goes on to tell of the world's final days. Cobras were the only ones who survived. Shocked by this tale of Armageddon, Max finally asks in bewilderment, "Then what do you need me from me? What is my destiny?""The purpose of your life is to make sure mankind goes out in style."
