21st century epically important truestory (with couple fictional additions)

His first name is Unknown. No, not unknown but Unknown.. with capital U. And last name is Future. Unknown Future walks the world, slowly and silently. Truthfully it even doesn't have a gender, but most of the few people who have actually seen it with their own eyes, sure say it looks more like man. Such really grumpy but extremely self-comfident and egoistic, bully type of man. He roams the world with only one reason. When people have some important decisions to make or great things are to happen, then he goes there and fucks everything up, leaving behind people who only see hoplessness in their way.
Unknown Future is like a cold weather that makes every mechanical thing to work with problems or not at all. Makes everyone to struggle to find their own way through the world where now most ways are dead ends, and makes people to question if it really is a good idea to get out of the bed at all. Even economical system goes to hibernation because of it. Money, time and other ressources tend to vanish into the thin air at the two times the speed of normal. Almost everything stops. But this isn't that kind of good stopping, when you can rest and think what to do next. He causes panic, doubt and ineptness to do anything or think any good and constructive thoughts.
Mostly, when Unknown Future visits some place, it causes people to gather extra supplies. For any case,.. because you never know when you may need additional food or burning wood (even if your heating system is electrical), or batteries.. or.. ok, i guess you allready got the picture. And mostly he makes people to swear a lot. Like people, so do countries start to gather extra supplies. More money is gathered from people who anyway have only bare minimum to manage. Countries also start to gather extra weaponry. Well, you never know when these may come handy.
Some of these who have suffered because of the Unknown Future, think of it as the most modern thing let out of the Pandora's Box, but it ain't so. It was in the world much earlier, and actually last time when at the year of 1978 ordinary english entrepreneur named Peter found the above mentioned box, he suddenly felt the panic. He never touched the box and called to police that someone left a bomb alike object in his not very successful restaurant. About an quarter of hour later bombsquad took the object. No-one knows of what happened with it later. Yet, known is that Peter bought a gun and started to gather petroleum, batteries, rice and salted meat. Soon his business went into bankruptcy. Peter saw no hope anymore and shot his brains out with his brand new rifle.
Also no-one exactly knows of Unknown Future's whereabouts, but here and then people still say that he had again got someones soul, someones love,.. hope, money, time.. future.
