[ WP ] Everyone on earth with text/email capabilities receives the same message at the same time : `` You are a terrible person . '' No one can trace where it came from . You receive the message : `` You are a good person . ''

`` As most are aware Around 3:00pm EST yesterday a message appeared on almost every active phone in the world. As far as we know each message was the exact same - You are a terrible person - Appearing in the phone owners native tongue. There is still no leads on how this message was sent or where it came from but...'' 
 
 I switched off the television and looked down at my phone. `` You are a good person.'' Was I the only one? 
 
 `` This is actually the stupidest thing to ever happen. Like a single text message and the whole world loses their minds.'' My roommate plopped herself down next to me. `` It was technically billions of text messages,'' I responded, fiddling my phone between my fingers. 
 
 `` Whatever, same thing. It's stupid regardless. I mean we already know we're all terrible.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, it does n't really make sense.'' 
 
 `` It does n't make sense because it's stupid! Anyway, do you want food? I'm starving!'' 
 
 She got up and ran over to the kitchen. I looked down at my phone again, maybe it was just stupid. Some sort of universal prank with no meaning. Otherwise why would I receive such a text? I literally steal cheese from the supermarket on a daily basis and have n't called my parents back in weeks. 
 
 `` Do you want a sandwich? I'm gon na make us sandwiches, you like cheese right?'' 
 
 `` I'm actually just gon na pop by my parents for lunch, I'll be back later.'' I grabbed my purse and keys as I headed out the front door. I was n't really sure who to tell other than my parents. I was afraid of what ideas people might get, what if there are no others? People might think I'm connected to it all. 
 
 Everyone I walked past was talking about it; showing each other their phones and coming up with theories as to what it was. Many feared this might just be the begining of something huge while most just assumed it was some prank. A few seemed to believe it was some sort of plea for world peace. 
 
 I stopped by the butcher to grab some smoked meat, my dads favorite. At the cash of course the butcher brought it up. `` Did you hear?'' He asked as he put a sticker on the bag of meat. `` I think everyone and their dog heard of those..'' I started to say but he quickly interrupted me, `` Well of course but I'm talking about the origin theory!'' 
 
 `` What are they saying now?'' I asked to be polite. 
 
 `` Here. They traced it to our province! Is n't that crazy?'' 
 
 `` Insane.'' I looked up at him in disbelief. Could this mean something? Could this tie back to my strange text? 
 
 I thanked the man and carried on. I could n't stop staring at my phone as I walked. 
 
 As I approached my parents street I noticed flashing lights near their house. I began to walk a little faster until I realized my parents house was surrounded by cruisers, vans and other vehicles. I stood still for a moment and questioned whether I should proceed or turn around and run. 
 
 Against my better judgement I proceeded. I walked up slowly and saw my parents standing on their porch speaking with officers. I slowed down but the second I became visible to the hundreds of people surrounding my home I was approached by two men in suits. `` You need to come with us.'' They gestured for me to follow as they turned around. 
 
 `` Do I have to?'' I think it was a mixture of knowing I'd done nothing wrong and strong curiosity that made me so fearless. 
 
 They both turned back, `` No. But it will make both of our lives a lot easier.'' 
 
 I nodded and followed them into a large black SUV. There was a man in a perfectly tailored a black tuxedo sitting across from me. He was perhaps the most handsome man I had ever laid my eyes on. He just sat there grinning until the doors were closed and the vehicle began to move. 
 
 `` Charlie, you made the right decision cooperating.'' He smiled at me. `` You are a good person.'' 
 
 I looked over at him in shock, I do n't know why I was so surprised, I half expected this, `` Is that what this is all about? That text?'' 
 
 `` Yes. You are the key to saving the world.''
