Message in a Time Capsule

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, lived an unusual breed of intelligent species called the human race. They walked on two legs and used their thumbs to rule the earth for thousands of years.

There was once a time when the humans lived with the rest of the animals of the kingdom. But their greed and power led them astray. They cut down the trees, and built roads and houses where the deer and the buffaloes once grazed. They worked all day, and bred all night, and expanded their empire to the poles thereof.

Engulfed with a conquest of their own, these humans forgot about the rulers above and beyond. Words were sent to Olympus that these humans were killing their beloved Gaia. Her body was covered with tumors of deserts and storms, while else where Poseidon was suffering a similar fate of meltdown. Angered, Zeus sent down Ares for revenge.

Ares came down with bows of fear and hatred sparing no one that stood on his way. So, the humans fought on, killing each other with their own weapons, till there was none left to repent.

So, my dear child, your birth is the gift of a forgiven sin, a wound that took a long time to heal. So, remember to love thy neighbors and not to anger the gods, cause from dust you were made, and to dust you shall return.
