THE PLANET

Spaceships are landing on the planet, fleeing the war that destroyed The Earth.
Amongst the other refugees, I'm discovering this vast land.
The world is dark and grey, ruled by dust and clouds.
This is a permanent twilight.
I can't remember anything about the war.
I only know Humans fought against Humans, causing the exodus.
And now the survivors are striving to settle down in this hostile land.
The air is foul. We can barely breathe.
There are rumours that it is poisoned and will kill us all.
Many of us are already ill.
There is almost no vegetation.
This is a desert.
Spaceships are still landing, raising clouds of dust.
People are massing in makeshift camps, directed by soldiers.
I'm trying not to breathe, and I'm wondering how long we will be able to resist the foul air.
What makes us ill? The dust, or some component in the air?
How can we live without light anyway?
This is the planet.
Welcome home Humankind.
