Things were different back in the day when we lived on Earth.

I barely remember it myself. I was just a little kid when we had to evacuate the planet. That was, oh … sixty years ago thereabouts. I’m 65 now, and I’ve seen a lot of changes.

Where I grew up we had green trees, blue oceans and lakes, fields of grain and people who farmed the land.

Then, the fluffy white clouds in the sky started to get thicker, and were not so white any more. It got difficult to breathe. The air was slowly being depleted.

Rogue experimental cities had begun to be settled on other habitable planets. It became a viable alternative to travel to these settlements, to  live and prosper again.

Oh, Earth is still there, still a planet. Some engineers and scientists live there, underground, and are dilligently working on cleaning up the air and water to make it livable again. I hope they do. Maybe, kids, your grand-children will be able to go to Earth, to repopulate a beautiful planet. It’s worth saving.
