The World Before Ours

There weren’t always dragons in the valley. Just normal creatures that roamed the earth. My elders would often talk about the world before ours. One where humans laid waste to the land that in turn evolved to survive us. There were vast open seas, rivers, or lakes, sometimes man made. Vehicles that ran on gas or electricity and of course predators and prey alike that we often locked up in zoos. Skyscrapers that pierced the sky, submarines that traveled to the depths of the ocean and trains that traveled across miles. Most importantly A sun that didn’t cook us alive . Now the environment is less than forgiving and every day is just another day to survive the chaos.
