Mother nature died long ago and how she didnt take us with her i’ll never know. Humans are a resourceful bunch, making the earth work for us when all along we have been her servants. Not very obediant servants mind you, we killed our master, tortured her until she couldnt breathe.

I was so ready to leave my old home town, the people there, the streets, the food, everything, I despised it. I considered coming up with a whole new back story, I was from somewhere else, a clean town with good people. People who didn’t call me,
