Once upon a time, there was a planet called Earth, which had a love
relationship with its inhabitants, the humans, they had a very lovely
relationship, they respected each other, the humans gave a good treatment to Earth in all senses.
One day, a genius
called the Lion, said a prediction about this love story, he said that the
human race would betray Earth by damaging it, producing something called "pollution", that would cause Earth to die, little by little, with natural
disasters inside it, like forest fires, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and acid
rain caused by the smoke of factories, cars, and other things that Earth´s
boyfriend (the humans) used, and that there will be one day, in which no trees nor animals were left alive, humans were not forgiven either; but why, because
they would escape to fall in love with another planet, and would leave Earth
alone and seconds away from dying.
Years were passing and
nothing had happened yet, but one day, something started to change, the humans
started to get irresponsible with their girlfriend's treatment. They started cutting
off trees to make buildings,so Earth got mad about that and responded with a
lightning bolt to the city of Los Angeles, that got almost destroyed, so
the humans said sorry to Earth and stopped cutting trees.
Years passed and one
day the humans started going at it again, constructing factories that produced
smoke that damaged the atmosphere of their girlfriend. Earth got mad again
and sent a strong earthquake to Colombia, which suffered many damages, but Earth´s boyfriends did not pay any attention to
it, they kept doing stuff that damaged their girlfriend.
One day, Earth
noticed that something was changing inside her, the water level was increasing
tremendously, there were also a lot more deserts than before, but she kept
having a toxic relationship with the humans, even knowing that her always-loved
boyfriends were spoiling her.
Years were passing and Earth was dying,
slowly but secure and all because of keeping her toxic relationship with the
humans, and the humans were doing nothing to stop that damage; instead, they
were increasing it, like if they didn’t have any feelings.
One day, the
destruction of Earth came, and her boyfriends, the human race, didn’t do anything, they just left to fall in love with another planet. Earth was all
alone, destroyed, and seconds away from dying, and said, "The only thing that
can destroy you is what you create", she cried of lovesickness, then she died. Poor Earth, hopefully she can get her revenge one day.
