[ WP ] You 're from Earth ? What 's it like ?

`` Wow you lived on Earth, the mother planet? What was it like before... well you must know.'' 
 
 Erick was still drowsy from the cryo sleep, head still in a fog. He ran his fingers through his thick brown hair and cleared his throat, `` Well it was a wonderful place when you do n't account for the human race. Skies of a deep blue, a yellow warming glow from the sun'', thinking of the hollowed out asteroid he is on now. `` Thick carpets of green grass, soft under your feet, trees as taller then you can even imagine. Vast oceans of water, sometimes angry and swelling. Other times as calm as the water in your cup. Birds soar as high and far as the wind and their wings will take them. Im sure from there they could see what we were doing to Earth.'' A brief moment of depression and anger welled up in him, and it showed on his face, a lowered grimace. He looked up at the young boy who asked him about his old home, on the edge of the countertop, clearly craving more. Erick continued, `` from there they could see us slowly devouring the landscape, with vast cities, interconnected with concrete, rivers conquered by bridges and dams. Those beautiful scenes slowly eaten away by humans need to grow and control. Alright, story time is on hold, I am still groggy and need to eat. Ask me tomorrow, and I will really tell you a story about Earth.'' 
 
 The boy disappointed, hopped off the countertop and and headed for the door, not before looking back with a smile and said, `` Well I will be back tomorrow then!''
