The dark purple earth spins in its orbit as the Earth makes its rounds around the sun.

Few buildings stand, those that had not been burned down by the fire and the hidden, non-flooded bunkers of the ones who had listened. The giant redwoods and sequoia trees still stand tall, hardly hurt from the scarring fire as well as some other trees that were not affected by the fire. The plants that surround the unhurt buildings that were protected by the magnetic field still grow, though struggle form the amount of rain.

Suddenly, at both poles it starts to snow and the water trapped in the mountain valleys start to freeze. Though the rest of the world would no longer know seasons, the expanded territory of the poles would only know winter.

The once grand forests are all chard. But, little by little, they begin to break down, creating noise once again upon the once quiet Earth. Bacteria breaks down the rotting wood which gives birth to growing Mycelium, mold, and fungus. Slime molds grow quickly in their sickly green orange streams as the span quickly over terrain quickly. Mycelium begins to span over large distances, connecting the world with these large organisms. Roaches, who are known to survive anything, spring forth and bring help to the bacteria and microbes that live upon the land.

The Earth is functioning with bacterial life and small microbes as the Earth once more begins to settle into its own once more.
