The year is 3025…

A January Creative Submission by X. Jasso

The year is 3025…
You look so different from 1000 years ago. So different.
The year is 3025…
You struggle to breath. You are losing oxygen.
The year is 3025…
You are boiling to the touch; do you have a fever? The temperature is at an all time high.
The year is 3025…
Your pets went missing. The percent of species still existing is non-existent.
The year is 3025…
Your friend left you. The gravitational pull has weakened, the moon is gone. The waves are calm.
The year is 3025…
You have cancer now. The radioactive waste reached a limit. The waters and skies are polluted.
The year is 3025…
You killed us. But we killed you first.
The year is 3025…
You are nothing. But a planet full of empty gas, of extreme heat, of no water, and of no living beings.
The year is 3025…
You are uninhabitable. You look like Venus.
The year is 3025…
How old are you? After we left time stopped counting.
The year is 3025…
Your new name is Deaðstan.
