Tears #PlanetOrPlastic

Tears

A white nightmare bestowed upon by a dark angel. The nightmare made people tear up, then cry, then weep their lungs out. It truly was an epidemic.

First drop, second drop, a stream, a lake, an ocean.

scared, petrified, regretful, bitter, remorseful.

The nightmare's mode of transportation was the tears that were produced by contrite humans. It floated on top, fluctuated in the middle, sank below, the puddle of tears. Humans were hopeful that the nightmare would eventually crumble away, embedding its source deep down into the core of the Earth.

Drip drop.

Drip drop.

The nightmare propagated itself inside streams that were now red tears, circulating inside the internal organs of the Earth. Never for a second did it realize that it was deleterious and detrimental to the streams that it spread to, never for a second. After a night of work, it returned to where it belonged, somewhere deep down.

The nightmare that human dreamed of once would sleep now, tired and consumed. Humans, however, were now widely awake, woken up by uncanny white monsters in their nightmare. In their nightmare, these white monsters feasted on tears and replaced the salt water with their own pale bodies. In no time, millions of tiny bodies overfilled where once was water. Humans who were looking through a microscope can see aquatic microorganisms strangled by the white fangs of the monsters.

Vroom Vroom.

The nightmare had garnered attention from humans. They wished to drive it away, in a truck full of the same nightmare. Thrown into a green machine, the white monsters were neutralized and transformed into fairies and mermaids and goddesses. Humans started to smile as these beautiful creatures graced their realistic fantasy, craving for another refined illusion just like the previous one, or the ones before.

The nightmare was gone and the dream kept reoccurring. The aquatic lives were no longer threatened by the fangs of the white monsters. Instead, they welcomed tears, tears of jubilance from contented humans.
