Survival

The earth is filled with parasites that feed off its bodily fluids, attacking it like fleas and heartworms and then spraying it with poisons in vain attempts to undo their damage. Covering it in plastic tumors and rusting abscesses, they force the grass and trees to fall off in huge quantities until there are great bald spots. They over run each other in one plague after another, each new one larger, more powerful and more dangerous than the last.

Eventually, like the dinosaurs of the past, these parasites too, will find life impossible and the earth will be given time to recuperate without them.
