It’s a silently different world out here. The nature even seemed standoffish. Usually, it’s welcoming, but today it felt like it was a little hesitant to connect. The sunshine even felt like it wasn’t able to feed the grass. People mingled and chatted but their interactions were compartmentalized and in a box like the sections of a comic book. There is a world of difference between the idea of a compromise and to be compromised.

Dear Earth, get well soon.
