The World Is Dying

It was an ordinary morning. Drinking coffee by the city view, contemplating the worlds biggest questions. Until, I turned on the tv.


A blond woman with teeth as white as plaster sits next to a big old looking man in a tux.


“Breaking new” the shiny woman says. “A man know as Dr. Roivas, has been accused of treason, slander, and harassment after his meeting on climate change.”


Treason? Slander? I try recalling anything bad I could have said, but nothing comes so minds. I just talked about the oncoming after affect of climate change.


“Thank you Chrissy” says the big man in a growl. “Now onto Bob, with an exclusive interview with Tammy Witherspoon, a victim of his lies.”


The screen switches to a room where a man with slick black hair interviews a middle aged woman with short blonde hair sit. I can’t recognize the woman. Not even a bit


Bob get comfy in his leather chair, and says

“Ms. Witherspoon, do you mind sharing your side of the story?”


Gasping for air and whimpering, with no tears coming out, she says, “yea Bob, I would love to. So-“ she stops and looks at the camera. “I’m sorry this is really hard” she whimpers.


Bob pats her in the back and whispers, “take your time.”


After taking out a handkerchief and patting lightly her eyes, she commences her story.


“I went to the climate change talk, or whatever it was, because I am an eco-friendly, environmentalist, body positivity, influencer. So I took my kids, because they gave children under twelve free snacks. And I was utterly HORRIFIED when that man started talking! He started talking about how my generation screwed us over and such, and that we are all in danger. He started showing pictures of destroyed villages, dying animals, and more gross stuff I don’t even want to look at. So, like, I was mad! And then, you won’t believe what happened. He said that what we have done is irreversible damage. I am trying to teach my kids all mistakes can be fixed, and that we never give up. So he is spreading LIES! Before I go on, I just want to say you can follow me at Karen vlog”


She rambles on and on about the lies and threats I spread. But it all goes in one ear and comes out the other.


“This is total BS!” I scream at the TV, knowing it serves no us.


I open up my cell phone to find not thousands, but millions of notifications.


I scroll through social media, to find articles, memes, and comments about me. All negative.


#banthecrazyearthlover and #thisisallalie are common tags I see.


I open up a clip, of someone who recorded my speech.


I stand at the stage, confidently informing the people.


“We have gone past the irreversible line of damage. 20 million people this year will die because of it. And is we don’t do anything now, it will get worse.”


Hundreds of retweets. Thousands of comments. Millions of voices. All hating me.


I just tried spreading the truth. But I guess we have to sugar coat everything these days.
