Once upon a Time

100 word Drabble

Once upon a time the world was a beautiful place. The forests were vast, covering the earth, a sanctuary to a diverse population of exotic animals and birds. The air was fresh, clean, and unpolluted by chemicals and poison. The oceans of this wonderful world were clean, nourishing for the many sea creatures who lived there, living as nature intended. Then one day humans began to roam, taking what they needed but giving little in return. Over many eons, animals found they couldn’t compete and simply disappeared. The oceans filled with plastic and the air became poisonous. Until nothing remained.
