The Toxic Remnants


The landscape was that of a city with buildings full of mold, where you could see the different rocks of the structures protruding.

To the north we saw a rotten building, as if a dinosaur had taken a big bite and ripped that part of the building off like a piece of pie, exposing the innards of the creatures that lived inside, now gone. .

The streets were littered with rubbish.

Nature had done its relentless work, filling all the places with jungle and vegetation. surroundings.

Looking up, I saw a sky that was completely toxic. Invaded by an intense red color that dominated the entire horizon and that when there was a lot of breeze, very strong winds, it went down to ground level, ending any possibility of life: plants, animals, bacteria, microbes, everything disappeared.

Those who were lucky and managed to survive would suffer the most terrible mutations.

This was the cause of a huge number of disappearances on the planet and is nothing more than proof of the late trial to create a chemical compound that would accelerate the evolution of all the creatures on the planet.

The military had failed again, blaming their scientists, when it was the people who were in high command who were responsible for this atrocity, wanting to play gods, to have more power than the creator himself.

Thus leading to all this terrible fatality of seeing people with three arms, humanoids with one leg that could move in a rather strange way, jumping on their vertical axis to be able to move, even supporting themselves with their two hands in front as if they were a tricycle touring around the new landscape.

The whole situation was quite bleak, but this was the new world, a terrible and post-apocalyptic world that all those who ignored it had to live in the year 2023 when they were warned that they should stop hurting the planet, polluting the waters, if more empathic with nature and with their other congeners.

Today I am telling this story like a good minstrel handed down from generation to generation.

Two thousand years have passed since the event and we have come from another galaxy to rebuild the planet.

We are the race of the etamilos: one of those races that the earthlings dreamed of knowing and simply thought that there was the possibility that there was life in some of the confines of the universe, but they were not ready for us.

We do for them and now is the moment in which we come to rebuild the vestiges that remain of the human race.

This is my story for today.

End time atmosphere! Or a hope...?

Both at same time, end of era and a critique of what is going to happen to us on the path we are currently on.

The poles are melting and there is no turning back... that's why Elon Musk is trying to colonize Mars, he already knows that the end of this is near.

And I'm not conspiratorial, but rather thoughtful.

This story proposes the end of the world with mutations, and a race that comes to rescue us (or probably to enslave us, because it is most likely that we are intellectually and technologically inferior to them) to take over the planet, and this time, make the things well.

No one knows for sure what will come in the future....

For my part, I consider it an "empty" idea that an extraterrestrial species will "save" us, that something outside ourselves will guide and instruct us.

It seems to me comparable to religions, the practising of which tempts us to hand over all responsibility to the respective god of trust....

I rather think that instead of coming to help us, they are going to seize us.

If you study the patterns of nature, you will realize that the most intelligent species always keep the inferior ones in submission, so it is something "natural".

As humans I think it would be very arrogant to think that we are the most intelligent in the entire universe, as well as that we are the only ones.

So we are exposed to being bullied from the weisser world in the Dream galaxy (it's just a joke, don't take it personal =D )

Well, then I'll train the bullying ;-)))

ha ha ha I have no doubt of that!=D

Fascinating, yet terrifying.

This deserves to be expanded into a novel.
