Once, long long ago, humans could see during the day, and were fast asleep at night. Now, I know what you’re thinking; how did they stay awake? How did they survive? And how on earth did they not get feasted upon?

To those questions, I have no answers other then simply put, they did! Yes, they did indeed! One by one, the black smog devoured the tiny little humans! Just as they did to us! The little humans polluted our oceans, ripped down our trees, melted the polar bears ice! Well, fortunately for us, the smog that they created killed them as well! It got so terrible, to the point that any amount of energy would cause an explosion! The smog was far worse then natural gas! Toxic to breathe in, and to be around.

This caused them to run and hide into caves! They had to adapt to the darkness that they had caused! They hid just long enough for us in the animal kingdom to reproduce and stabilize our populations. Our friends, the birds, had trees to nest in. Elephants grew their huge tusks. Our lovely bees swarmed once more. Their huge, decaying fishing nets were stoned over; freeing our oceanic friends from dangers. Us foxes don’t have to worry about them stealing our skin anymore. All of this, while they hid from their own mess; denying it even existed.

Now, eventually there will be one curious little human that wants to leave the nest. Despite being told not to. Despite being told that the dangers that lurk beyond the rocks holding them in the cave, is too great. And when that day comes, it will be all over for us again. They will feast upon us. Use our trees for houses, and fires. Pollute our waters and soil. Hunt us for our tusks, skins, and pelts. Hunt us to make clothing that they show off to one another; like trophies.

But for now, my son, enjoy what you have while you have it. Sleep well, and enjoy being a young little fox; who gets to run the woods worry free. Good night.
