Title: --------
Setting:
Through the vast nothingness of space looms a small planet; grey, alone, and desolate save the three miniscule moons orbiting it night and day. It's surface swells with dark, stormy grey clouds that never seem to part to reveal the land below. It didn't use to be that way:
In the past, this planet had white clouds, and green earth and blue sea, a beautiful and serene place. On this planet, then, were two legged creatured who toiled the ground to make a living. Humans.
Then, they discovered something called technology. That changed everything. Over the course of several centuries, the clouds grew greyer and thicker, and the green became brown and then grey, and the seas became green and then brown. That is what the humans brought to their home.
And now, in the present, the cloud cover is so absolute that no sun is able to reach the ground, and that plunged the planet into darkness. However, the electric and artificial lighting kept the world lit in a stark, yellow light.
In this time, the people have abandoned their hard wokring ways and now reap the profits of other's hard toil. Children's toil. They take the children from the streets, pay and take them from their impovershed mothers; and set these children in terrible conditions to work. They start from a young age, recieve no pay whatsoever, and know nothing different due to their lack of education.
What has this world come to?
