Who first noticed?
No one knows.
The phenomenon wasn’t immediately apparent. The population
had reached its maximum number – approximately 7.3 million – a few years prior.
Only demographists had been mildly concerned. Most knew the population would
taper, but not that soon.
There came reports of exceptional toddlers who claimed to
remember past lives. At first, a few tabloids deployed their reporters to
interview the parents and their terrific two year olds. Ironically, those
writers didn’t spin their stories; they and their editors believed them to be
so absurd that they published them almost verbatim.
Those stories were the snowballs; what followed was the
avalanche.
The world would never be the same.
