The land unites and explodes. It’s a predictable process, but still, no one knows when it will happen. Every earthquake, every rainstorm, every decaying tree, every ant is a part of this process. It takes some time, but what is time if you live forever? You. I’m talking to the world. Nature. You are undergoing constant change. Constant reality. You are a victim of our ignorance. You mold yourself to fit our needs.
But what if you don’t live forever? What if what you could always expect goes wrong and reuniting becomes too hard? So, you separate and brace yourself for the long haul. People, your enemy, who were once your love, you kill because it’s no longer fair. At first, animals will prosper, then they die as well. Only the ants are left. No one ever thought they were strong enough. No one believed in their power. But you, the world, nature, believe in them because they work to help you live and grow. They want you to survive. You don’t. You die along with the wolves, and the catfish and finally, the powerful ants.
