Seeds of Extinction

I don't want to write, but I have to. If I don't, I'll go mad.

I've spent the last few days postulating what's to come.

The way I figure it, the CO2 levels in the atmosphere will continue to rise at an exponential rate. The rapid change in temperature will cause most mammal and marine organisms to quickly die out. Subterranean organisms are likely gone already. Eaten. Next the fresh water and shallower seas will begin to turn green, if they haven't already. Internet is spotty down here. The green comes from newly abundant algae. It will bloom in ocean waters, suffocating bottom dwellers and killing all coral. Global warming will dramatically accelerate.

Mass extinction on a global scale...

No more fauna. The flora will conquer the earth.

Timber could still be out there. They won't let me go look for him. Say it's gotten too dangerous.

Say the vines are moving faster now. And not recoiling anymore.

We can hear them moving down here. It's like they're swimming in the soil. Maybe they're looking for us.

We're in their territory now.

Prey for the new masters of the Earth.
