A Human Story
He sat in the window dreaming of space, the space down on earth. Somewhere he and his family could roam freely. Breath fresh air, feel the sun on their backs. See bright colours tinting the moors under a washed out silver-blue sky. But they say poison drifts in that air.

Short and poignant. It is the way the earth is going at the moment. We can only hope for a solution quickly.
Thank you SF, it feels like world leaders just dont care
A pithy comment on the abysmal state of the Earth. Well written, Michael.
Abysmal is the right word sadly large areas of earth
Environmental hazards or sci fi?
A bit of both perhaps. Thank you, Reena
The idea of being in space is exciting, but the idea of not being able to come back to our beautiful Earth is so sad.
I so agree. Thank you Joy
When man is on Earth he dreams of exploring the mysteries of space when in Space longs for terra firm and family.

Sadly I expect that will be so true. Thank you for commenting.
Short and bitter.
Well done.
So pleased to read your feedback. Thank you.
Great post-apoc story here. Short and to the point. Oh, how easily we can destroy paradise, nuh? 🙂
Glad that you enjoyed the story. Paradise can be in a glass of clean water. Yet sadly water is often polluted unnecessarily .
Poor guy, you can feel how enclosed & trapped he is. All b/c down on earth he cannot breathe clean air. Well done in so few words!
Thank you Mandi, I appreciate you taking time to comment. I often use to many words, so your last sentence was most welcome.
No worries that’s my problem too
