The wind blew into a changed spirit, and died away into a zephyr Bodies of sand covered the terrain, its distance vast and never-ending Much of the earth barren and seely lifeless Inhabitants are used to such desolate scenic environment since birth
Long ago, the ancient compendium once described a utopia; plethora’s of clear blue water coated the shorelines, forest greens enveloped the land, buildings erected as high as the heavens, diverse kinds of creatures filled the earth and walked alongside the Ancients, overabundance of natural resources, and a surplus supplies of food It was a beautiful paradise…but unfortunately,more than mere fairy tales told to children of a land that once used to be

“Li Zhen, I feel embarrassed… pfftt hhahaha! Embarrassed for you!”
The teacher asked with curious eyes “Li Zhen, would you care to elaborate?”
“Teacher, did you know nuclear weapons have the ability to cause the annihilation of our species? Our ancestors suffered from this, from nuclear radiation or what is known to us as radiation is the result of nuclear weapons The Ancients designed a weapon capable offrom the thousands I believe they called theical progress, a feat so reine And from this advance o, our ancestors suffered by the saerous”
