A Tragedy

Earth and Pollution's Bad Influence


There was once a boy called World, who was very peaceful and didn't mess with anyone. Everyone wanted him, except for one person, who apparently was a child called Pollution, that badly influenced other people to be mean to him. 

World was a healthy, responsible child who helped others if they had any problems, basically many depended on him.

Instead, pollution was the opposite, so he was a rebellious child who he didn't take care of himself and he didn't like people as  World. 

The friends of World tried to avoid Pollution because it was a bad influence for them  and that could affect them in a drastic way, but Pollution never gave up and convinced more people and put them against World. 

World had a few friends left. Those people were the ones who were the most faithful and it was clear that they were real friends. 

Pollution's friends were not good for World because they could harm his mind in a horrible way, and if that happened, he and those around him would collapse.

Years went by and everything kept getting worse, everything was a chaos, thanks to Pollution, since everyone had become dirty and that was not good for the environment, but World never gave up and kept fighting. 

Little by little, World was getting worse, since all the comments and acts he received from Pollution made him think "what is the meaning of life?" 

They changed many things in World, especially his emotions suddenly changed because of Pollution, but only that could be fixed if everyone realized that he made World become a bad thing in their lives, an evil that if it kept getting worse would never stop. And so it was, it got worsening with time went by.

Only a few people helped World recover, but unfortunately they did not have much effect because he was no longer aware, since the acts of Pollution had damaged him and although he would not be noticed on the outside, World was suffering; as a result, it seemed like hell inside. 

He was already tired of everything that was happening to him
and changing thanks to Pollution, so there came a point where World couldn't stand it anymore and he died.

At that moment, a great void was heard for several days; They all realized what they had done, since it was not only the fault of Pollution, but also of those who supported him.

They were too sad, some more than others, but that made them see that they could not live without World. He was one of the people who held everything together, but this time there was no return. 

Everything got worse and nobody could solve that, nothing was the same, there was no happiness, everything seemed to be black and white, so everyone was to blame for this, for not taking into account what was good for them and what was wrong to be corrected on time.
