And here is your picture prompt:
Just One Human
All it would take was just one human from this lousy planet
to care.
Creeda surveyed the latest consignment through the mirrored
glass. Each wired to monitor every emotional flicker.
Varti was prosecuting
today; he liked to put on a performance.
“This is your planet,” he began, spinning the glistening sphere
in mid-air. “For many years you have abused its natural resources, polluted the
ground with your toxins. You have not maintained the equilibrium and for that
crime you world is on its final warning. If no one can be found as caretaker,
your planet will be destroyed.”
The sphere cracked showing the extent of the toxic damage.
Its molten core spewed out into a lifeless puddle. The stench was said to be
overpowering to humans and yet most remained unmoved.
Uncommonly the monitor bleeped, Creeda scanned the faces
with incredulity. Just one betrayed emotion, a single tear of compassion.
“Stop the trial!” She yelled.
