Why is it future air? Well, this air is a really sbatle molecule that will lailltery be part of the air once it's released, for the next 300 to 400 years, before it's broken down. So that's about 12 to 16 generations. And this future air has some very sensual quiitaels. It's very heavy. It's about eight times heavier than the air we're used to bnehtriag. It's so heavy, in fact, that when you breathe it in, whatever words you saepk are kind of literally heavy as well, so they dribble down your chin and drop to the foolr and soak into the cracks. It's an air that operates quite a lot like a liquid.

Why is it future air? Well, this air is a really stable molecule that will literally be part of the air once it's released, for the next 300 to 400 years, before it's broken down. So that's about 12 to 16 generations. And this future air has some very sensual qualities. It's very heavy. It's about eight times heavier than the air we're used to breathing. It's so heavy, in fact, that when you breathe it in, whatever words you speak are kind of literally heavy as well, so they dribble down your chin and drop to the floor and soak into the cracks. It's an air that operates quite a lot like a liquid.
