Naturestrikesback Stories

The rains vanish. Rivers turn to dust. Animals grow desperate-breaking into towns, circling schools, stealing every drop of water they can find. Dr. Elena Marquez warned this would happen, but no one listened. Now the drought is pushing more than animals to the edge-it's changing people too. Thirst makes neighbors dangerous. Cities erupt into violence. And when the last rain finally comes, it won't save anyone. 🌑 An eco-horror about denial, desperation, and survival when nature turns against us. © 2025 MM.

"When the world fell to the fungus, survival wasn't living-it was hiding." The world has rotted. Cities lie hollow, their bones threaded with glowing veins of fungus. Forests breathe spores instead of air. Humanity survives only in pockets, hunted by an amalgamation of creatures neither fully human nor fully spore-kind. ***** All Noa has to worry about is graduating high school, her non-existent love life and enjoying one last year of high school before she has to go to university. But all that changed overnight, when fungi-kind covers half the world. Leaving her and her family fighting for their lives.

First, it was small. Only the south would suffer, when it was hot and dry, humidity a thing of the past. It would shake, day and night, on and off. No rain, always sun. No one wanted to admit that it was our fault, that maybe if we would have changed our ways a would have never happened. But it did, and here is nothing left for us humans to mend. Now, we are divided. Monsters with weapons that cry in the shadows while we watch the others go just like we know we will inevitably follow. But, know this; Nature never needed us We needed nature. Now, our only hope is to pray that the world we have abused won't bring on our deaths like we did to it. Now- we can only survive.

They always said disasters were natural. As if storms were accidents, as if the earth woke angry for no reason. But storms feed on warmth, and the warmth was man-made. Floods rise where levees are neglected. Fires burn where budgets are cut. And when the alarms stopped ringing, we didn't notice at first. We trusted the silence. It was the silence that killed us. © 2025 MM. All rights reserved.
