#PlanetOrPlastic Short Story for National Geographic

This short story is for the contest 'Planet or Plastic'. It's 2054. The world is no longer as you knew it. You were all too focused on developing nations, creating robots and new world records. Maybe, you missed out on something important? Something greater than robots and nations? You ignored the shouts and cries of the Earth as it drowned you into its huge waves. It cracked and shivered, but you ignored it. Now you shall pay the price.

"Some people can't bear to remember the past. Others simply fear reliving it." My submission to the National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest. 499 words.

Will you save the ocean or cause its destruction?
