It was the future once again.
This time, language had been abandoned.
This was due to the fact that all nouns had become grapes. This had all started when all the fruit turned into grapes. Everything got smaller and more see-through and turned green or purple. The vegetables were next, and then bread and the other foods. Next the animals did it, and the humans followed even as they looked on disapprovingly. Then the pre-cut lumber gave in to the pressure, and then all the other elements in the periodic table. And now, every noun was but a grape.
The verbs and adjectives were still okay, although the only verb anyone might ever use would be "sat", since that's all the grapes ever did, and the only useful adjectives would be the grape series.
Thus, language fell into disuse.
