Free Radicals
Severing ties with ignorance.
Superman wasn’t invincible and neither is Mother Earth. Her delicate song, interrupted. Timeless melodies transformed to desperate cries upon muted ears.
Free will has always been the solution. Billions of answers fail to participate in combating the Radical changes attacking the future. Terraforming is not only plausible, it's recommended.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

Fire of life
Once upon a time, in a little village nestled between rolling hills, there was something magical called the "fire of life." It wasn't your ordinary flame; it shimmered with colors of the rainbow and danced with the whispers of the wind. This fire was the heart and soul of the village, giving warmth, light, and energy to all who lived there.

Her Majesty Mia and her minions
I rule this rag tag lot… they’re not much, but they’re all I’ve got! I preside at the head of the table, my indisputable, rightful place. But, I randomly perch on other chairs at a moment’s notice… whenever the mood strikes. Such fun keeping them off balance. Fun reminding them who’s boss... ME!

I guess because they're running out of places to put the rubbish. 🤔 Wall-E springs to mind.
I've often said, and truly believe, humans are the absolute worst thing on earth. Evolution should have stopped with apes.
So true: ‘ Timeless melodies transformed to desperate cries upon muted ears.“ What a mess we’ve made of the earth. We’re supposed to be caretakers.
Stunning, Lamar. and befuddles me too. There are so many things my fellow mankind does that befuddles me. I was writing about Morocco recently and about the darkest side of snake charmers...just never ceases to confuse, amaze and disgust me....the attitudes the species has to our world and its other inhabitants. Loved this little bit of dark and horrible truth.
It’s probably local community created without the government paying attention. I see people just throwing garbage out their car window on the expressway. Great topic to write about 👍🏽
Lamar, you spoke volumes in a few, well-chosen words. A beautiful plea. I can feel your hesitation that humans might never fix this problem, but your hope that we do. Bravo!
It is a travesty! And those poor goats trying to clean up and do their part. At least burn the debris, please!
Why indeed Lamar. You might as well just dump the trash straight in the water. Has to be said and you say it so well
Really enjoyed this Lamar! This is a micro with sooooo much story in it 👌👌👌
Unfortunately, us humans are Mother Earth's kryptonite 🥺
Powerfully & succinctly said, Lamar.
"Timeless melodies transformed to desperate cries upon muted ears." No one listens anymore. They don't want to hear the truth. Lies sound so much sweeter.
That subtitles it such a call to arms for this little micro.
And yet, nothing is likely to change.
Important reminder about the frailty of our world. Thanks for sharing!
Good story!
