Mama Nature

She has been patient with every single creature on earth since the beginning of time, but one specific organism was being the last drop that overflowed the water and they were humans. They did unspeakable things to the earth they did not possess, but were making lives on it unresponsively. They dug it, burned it, covered it with toxic materials, used it for their own benefit, murdered many other species in other and their own family groups and many other things. What they did not know was that mother earth holds a lot of sassiness and she could not wait to snap back.

Every earthquake, every tsunami, every volcano eruption, every tornado and hurricane was a way of her saying "Y'all better stop." But they did not.

So now, mother nature is on the verge of resetting the earth and wiping everything off of it. However as the time passed she saw that some humans started to go against other humans for polluting her and were trying to do something against it. She appreciated that but now, she did not know what to do. So she went ahead to the Amazon rainforest.

"Yo! Anyone there?"  The Mother Nature asked.

"Oh oh hello!" A little orange colored monkey showed up. "How's it hanging?"

"Not well, I don't know what to do." She answered back to the monkey.

"What's wrrong!?" Asked one of the colorful macaw birds that landed on a tree chirping with a high pitched voice.

"You see, these humans came to this world thinkin' they can do whatever the hell they want, however the hell they want and whenever the hell they want. These creatures have been raiding this earth for millions of years and even though they know they are killing themselves by getting on my nerves they just won't stop with this chemical bullsh*t!" She thundered.

"All day every day all you complain about isss thisssss." An anaconda snaked out of the bush.

"They are the biggest problem. Of course I will complain about them! I swear I will just create a flood and send them outta here!"

"Why won't you do it?" The monkey swung off of two branches. "You always say you will."

"Yeah but now there are nice ones as well." Mother Nature was very indecisive.

"It's not that those few humans are nice, it's that they are flattering you. You just want some attention. " A beautiful jaguar then appeared to the scene with a feline voice.

"Jussssst make them go already then." The anaconda whispered at her. Maybe she should do it. After all her job was to protect what was hers, the earth. Not boost her confidence.

"Y'all ain't helpful!" She rolled her eyes. "And also ye girl has to feel fierce in order to not act crazy."

"Carreful with the eye rolls woman! You arre going to create a cyclone!" The macaw bird screamed.

"Ok that happened only one time! ONE TIME!" It really was true that her powers were sometimes a little too overwhelming. "I know what to do. Bring Jesus!"

"You sure? Most of the times he isn't that helpful. He just has crazy ideas that takes us a while to figure out what it means." Purred the jaguar while laying down in the shadow.

"He is a lizard that walks on water!! I'm sure he has fascinating things to tell!" The monkey swung on a couple more branches.

"Did someone summon me?" A deep and breathy voice came through. "Ooh Mother Nature! It's you!" That voice turned into a joyful tone as the scaly lizard came through. "Is it the humans again?"

"Yes but this time I'm actually considering wiping them off the face of the earth."

"Then why won't you do it?" The lizard asked.

"W-ell-" as she was talking the anaconda jumped in.

"The weirdly shaped creaturesss are pumping her confidenccce."

"Oh shut up before i flip you upside down you moving noodle."

"Ok then don't do anything. Anyways, see you fellas later. I will go ahead and cross some rivers now. Byeee." The lizard ran from where he came. "Ok then don't do anything." This sentence got Mother Nature thinking. She has been battling this whole time with humans when all she could do was nothing. What if she just let them be? She could self destruct anytime she wanted and she knew that it would happen one way or another. Why not just let those pathetic, two legged creatures torture each other first? It would be more entertaining for her to watch anyways. She now knew what to do. She was going to do nothing.

"K you guys. Imma just go create some waterfalls or something. Buh-bye" she left the scene with her chin going up. No human could've made her feel more confident then realizing her own powers.
