Grombies: The Fall of Humanity and the Rise of Something Else

Mankind had finally done it. They had crossed the point of no return; we had made our bed, and it was now time to sleep in it. The green was fading and the desert was taking over. Humanity had hurt the Earth and her atmosphere where she could no longer support her green-life. Plants and trees were dying and it had an immediate effect, and we did the only thing mankind knows to do: fight. Nothing ever got nuclear, but rather scientific. It was commonly considered the second Space Race. Every nation was testing and inventing new methods to try and keep crops and plants growing. We were desperate and once we realized the earth couldn't support the plants, they looked to the plants themselves. This story is about that mistake.
