A REASON TO LIVE
Growing up we had always thought that it would be some global man-made disaster or something from the outer reaches of deep space that would finish off mankind but is wasn’t any of those things. Not a zombie apocalypse or asteroid hit like in the movies. Not a rising of the seas caused by global warming to flood all our cities or a pandemic either that all the scientists warned us off. Although the seas had rose and some cities had slid beneath the waves. There had been pandemics too, but even these were not to be the architect of our demise. Man had adapted to the inevitable, new cities had been built in the skies, floated off the new coasts, Scientists had kept ahead, just, of new viruses that came and stole millions from us every decade or sp. No, it was something much smaller than that, something that man did not expect and that took billions upon billions of us, too quickly for us to stop.
