I've always thought about when this round world would collapse. Nature dies due to the handiwork of adults. The child who grew up with those vices How will he live his life?
The false hopes of children who are not yet mature enough to face the harsh reality. Will it disappear once the terrorist secrets are revealed?
Greenery is a thing of the past.
The sound of the wind howling through the air was accompanied by gigantic dust. It splashed onto the child's goggles. There was no trembling in that little body. who were stomping along the ruined road Ruins beside the child's body were scattered around. The giant tall architecture leaned down and was destroyed. Buildings deteriorate along with people.
There was no one left in the area. Rotted tree stumps lined the road. There was only one tree that still forced itself not to fall. But there was no green on it. Whether it's with a fallen tree, a dead tree stump, or just that one tree standing. The little boy came to a deserted intersection. There were a few cars kissing the front and kissing the back.
Barbed wire and a few stone walls. Let's cover up and block the path. But that did not hinder him at all. He climbed up it carefully and lowered himself down slowly when his feet touched the ground. A loud bang came from behind him, causing the little boy to flinch. He turned to look and saw that the only decayed tree that had been standing tall just now had broken and fell, lying with his jaw on the ground.
Its roots stick out of the ground. It is a withered root.
In the palm of his right hand, the child held a picture book that described trees in his arms. He dreams of one day seeing the greenery like in this book. He dreamed of a butterfly flying. With beautiful bees coming to suck and admire the flowers While he was sunbathing one evening, along with his parents
What do they look like? A little child probably can only imagine.
I'm telling you Greenery is something that only exists in the past. And this little child was born into a world where everything disappeared. All destroyed. Only a little child and an old man were left lying motionless on the bed. But he didn't raise the child. The people of the village nestled in the forest raised him. It is seen that
I met a little child at the age who could only cry when hungry, sleep when full, poop when in pain, left in the forest and found by wild people who had their own civilization. Forests lost as a result of nuclear weapons Radioactive substances spread everywhere. It can't last any longer. The only way is for the forest people to leave for the city. A city with nothing left
that they had to fight each other Then start looking for food from various super stores and be careful of the noise of cars and people. This world is caused by human desires. And when it's like this Humans have become very scary creatures.
On some nights where they came out and sat around a small fire, just enough to keep them warm. and grilled rabbit meat to eat
People in the village shouted, “Miss 4.
G
Jung.”
The door was opened with difficulty. It was made from old galvanized iron that had been unceremoniously nailed to a piece of wood. But the little boy opened it. Pass yourself in through as little a hole as the child's strength can carry. I was a little breathless when I succeeded. He took off his goggles and placed them on the table next to him.
“Hurry and close the door, you stupid child,” an old man shouted from inside. The little child woke up to the sound. Then quickly turned around and followed orders. He turned around and slowly stepped closer to the source of the sound.
The old man was lying on a dirty mattress. An appendage cord was connected to a ventilator. It was placed on the tip of the old man's nose.
An old man is an old man's disease. It happens naturally according to the course of nature. No one wants to be that much. But where can it be avoided? The boy knelt down next to an old man who was struggling to sit up. The slightest amount of strength made the boy reach out to help. “No,” the old man said. “If you want to help, go get me some water, you stupid boy.” The boy did as he did.
Get up and get some water. In an era like this, water is something that humans compete for. The origin of the oil has somewhat disappeared along with the greenery. And do you think that in a world that has almost become a desert like this? Where did the old man get the water from? He has a little trick, a simple trick that the villagers use.
Tipping the glass across the dry land Leave it for some time first. When he came back to see which glass had the most water vapor that had evaporated from the heat, he said, "Dig it." Then the old man connected the pipe to the water source he had found. Leading a long hose all the way to his own house. Just pull the lever down. Water will flow through the hose through another wave of dirt filter inside.
Then it slowly dripped into the glass of water on the child's hand. The water slowly flowed out when it was finished. The little boy pushes the lever back. Then he hurried over to the old man who was lying down. Send me a glass of water. The old man grabbed it and drank it “gulp gulp” and handed the glass back.
“What else have you encountered?” the old man said, making the little boy's eyes widen. Put the glass of water aside. Grab the picture book you brought with you. Open it up and go through each page. quickly quickly Ready to express excitement with gusto
“Just one more time.” The old man shook the little boy's head lightly, but it was enough to cause a sharp pain.
“Sorry,” the little boy replied, rubbing his head.
“Look, what do you have?” said the old man, stretching out his withered hand to pick up the book and look at the cover himself.
“I found it in Super. So I'm going to see Uncle. Please help me read it to you,” the little boy added.
It's like an air hole. The old man faded away. He stared unmoving. The little boy's words drifted away, falling on deaf ears. The old man woke up again when the little boy shook him.
“Is something wrong? the little boy asked.
The old man still sat still, staring into the little child's eyes. It made him feel a little frightened.
But being familiar with each other and trusting each other, the little child still sat and looked back.
“Promise me that when my story ends today, it will be like the last one. You will stand up and do what you dream of.”
The old man spoke after a long period of silence.
The little boy didn't understand what the old man was saying at all, so he asked, "What..?" tilting his head in challenge.
“Promise me, I promise you won't mess up. Stand up and do what you really want to see, not just a painting in a stupid story.”
The little boy looked at the old man's claim in his hand.
“I still don't understand---”
“Promise!” His eyes widened, the old man shouted, interrupting him before he could finish the sentence from the little boy's mouth.
Even though I don't understand it at all. But the old man's loud noises were terrifying. The form of the sentence that was answered could not be said, "Promise, Uncle."
The old man lowered his expression of excitement. The Martial Giant had turned into the same old man that the little boy knew. He slowly lowered himself down and placed the story down beside him.
“I'll tell you,” said the old man who was finally asleep. “It was a long time ago. From the greenery that is not just a thing of the past It is not just a picture that invites one's imagination to continue like in that stupid story.”
The little boy was stunned and didn't even blink. Until the old man had to wave his hand and blow it around. To check to make sure The little child is still alive. The little boy nodded slowly and said, “That means it exists. The greenery is real.”
“Of course it is, you fool,” the old man shouted. “Are you ready to listen to me now?” the old man asked.
Once upon a long time ago Once upon a time it was real and not a fairy tale. The greenery is real. They are the lungs of the world.
The news was heavy that day. The Amazon forest is known as the lungs of the world. big fire A few months later in Australia There was also a forest fire. Over a billion wild animals died.” The old man was silent for a moment, then turned his head and stared into the little boy's eyes. “Have you ever seen an animal, little one?” the old man asked.
“I can see some lizards and geckos,” the little boy replied.
“Ha ha!” The old man burst out laughing loudly. It almost made the child's senses go blind. His head was so full that he coughed. It was clear that the child was angry that he didn't understand what was so ridiculous. He furrowed his brow and asked,
“What about lizards and geckos? Isn't that counted as an animal?"
“Ah,” the old man continued, “that's right. Sorry, it was my fault. Animals like big wild animals, lions, and hippos, you know?”
“I know, in the picture book there is But I've never seen one in person,” the little boy replied.
“Hmm.” The old man thought for a moment. “I don't know how to look for it either. Let's get back to the topic.”
The little boy nodded.
The old man then spit out another word.
Snow is made from water vapor that floats in the air and then condenses. turn into ice crystals And for it to become snow, it must have the right humidity. Including the temperature between the atmosphere and the ground. It must be below 0 degrees, so the terrain is an important part.
The area where it can snow is above the latitude lines 23 north and 23 south. Thailand is sad for some teenagers who want to wear Korean fashion. Because we live at 23 degrees north to 5 degrees north.
“I know Korean fashion. The forest man who raised me taught me,” the little boy interrupted.
“Good,” the old man replied calmly, then continued his story.
Phongsaly is the northernmost point of Laos. In the early 19th century, it was previously considered Thai. Therefore it can be counted that there has been snow in Thailand. At that time it was called Siam.
"I do not understand"
“Where is it?”
“It's all gone.”
The old man was motionless. I realized that I accidentally told the story without considering the beginning and end of it. This is an 8 year old child.
Didn't go to school And also happened to be born in this crappy world. The old man then began to speak.
Simply put, Thailand in the past Before the whole world was like this, it snowed. That's right, white fluffy snow. You probably won't believe your ears when you hear me say this.
But it's already happened. white snow falling
On that day, the old man slept normally. Everyone was normal. He woke up in the middle of the night. strong earthquake Everyone thought the earth had quaked. But when it stops That morning, the Thai land rose to 3,000 meters, higher than mean sea level. Makes the air cooler than usual Escape the heat from the sea vapor. It's finally snowing. It started falling at Doi Inthanon first. spread to various places behind
It suddenly rose. Scientists and academics guessed that there were 3 things.
1. is to have plants Plants take in carbon from the air to build their own plants, and when they die, they decompose into the soil. Causing carbon from the air to stay with the soil, increasing the amount of soil instead.
2. Rain that washes away the soil from higher ground and deposits it.
3. Meteorites that fall onto the Earth every day add to the Earth's mass.
4.Geological landscape of India separated from Australia Crashing into the Himalayan base all the time.
Kanchanaburi to Mae Hong Son Higher because this province is located on the land of still mountains. But damn it. It can push up the whole country.
Science is theoretical. And when something happens that comes too fast, too strong, we ourselves can't go anywhere. But it can be considered a good thing. because of the rising sea It's going to eat away at our land. But God seemed to give me a blessing. Extend time for us It is considered a great merit.
Many people think that it is a beautiful thing. that there was snow falling in our house But listen first. It's not just in Thailand where the climate is collapsing. It crashed everywhere, all over the world, white fluff falling where it shouldn't. The sun is shining in a place that shouldn't be hot. Swap the random land with the European side. What happened? So what are its effects? Various plants died.
Certainly there isn't any left and they're all dead. Because there are no spring leaves like in Western countries. The world itself is getting hotter and hotter, causing plant diseases to occur and nothing can be grown. Trees begin to die from The dust has been falling non-stop ever since. The first time it came crashing down Can't fix anything I don't know because it can't be fixed or how.
virus outbreak Some say that God has punished him. Some say it caused the germs to escape. It takes a long time to stop it. But it was successful. Why are humans surprised? Since globalization there has been nothing more exciting. When the new thing has been here for less than 10 seconds, you get bored and throw it away to rot. Capitalists present new things to consumers every 2 seconds.
And then it's a vicious cycle: buy new, throw away, and buy new.
because of selfishness Because of not knowing the value of resources This is human's. So it became like this.
And finally, 1/4 of the world's area is used to grow crops. There's nothing left. Plant diseases come to visit
Vegan
came out and said in the same voice: How are you, termite-faced capitalists? Because they only breed animals to eat steak. Have you seen the impact yet? I'm not saying who is right or wrong. I'm just here to tell you a story in a simple summary until it's the old man's turn to tell the story after me.
A food war broke out. Because the food shortage became more and more severe.
Both the political and economic systems have failed, but they are excellent in the war between each other...
“Finally, God punished.” The old man was silent for a moment before continuing. “To all of us The extra time has been given.”
"Lift the land up high and escape the sea. But still shows his raw human nature. And it is as you see it, little one. All of us are as you see it. White Pui itself shrank away, never to return again forever. There was only yellowish dust that hit your skin.”
“Today, greenery is a thing of the past.” The old man looked into the little boy's eyes.
The little child stared at him without blinking.
“That means adults are bad people,” the little boy said.
“Yes, that's right, there are a lot of bad adults. But there are good adults. As for me? I'm a bad adult. Even being an old person is still not good.
I am part of the destruction of this world.”
“But the story that was told Aren't we all? A destroyer?” the little boy asked.
“Even though we are all destroyers,” the old man replied. “Don't talk about leaders who don't think big. I only worry about the political situation. The economy has been forgotten. What is more important is nature that gives life.”
“However, I set fire to the forest that represents the lungs of the world. There was nothing left.” The old man's voice was different from before. He trembled, his mouth quivering, tears streaming down his cheeks. The little boy was stunned, he had never seen such a situation before. “I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to.” The old man cried out. Covering your face with your hands
The little child was still. I don't know what I should do. He was about to reach out and hold his trembling shoulder. His shoulder was dry and his bones were shaking.
“I have no other choice left,” the old man said. The little boy then lowered his hand to its original position. “I was surviving that day. I fled into the forest. Forests that represent the lungs of the world A great deal of gold is with me. I knew I couldn't take it with me, so I buried it, lighting a fire to tempt the city officials who were hunting for my head.
Hope to come back and get it again when things calm down. No matter how many decades it was, I made a mistake and it spread throughout the forest. Who would have thought that I would see the sight of rain falling on a forest fire?”
“Perfect for the summer time. That will be the satirical forest fire of the year. Just right for the selfish villagers. Cutting down trees to find a place to farm. Just as appropriate as the lungs of the world, on the other side of the continent, a red flower was born, blazing black and red, engulfing fire everywhere.”
“Only ashes remain.... Visitors Come visit the lung forests of the world. Run around to extinguish the fire and help the animals affected this time. From this old bastard's foolish actions What else can I say but cry? It became like this because of me.”
“I am a part. It is someone who doesn't take responsibility for what they do. I love myself more than nature, who gave me life. I have destroyed the Most High Benefactor as well as God....”
The old man was silent. Only the sobbing of the old man remained.
The little child was equally shocked. I don't want to believe that old people can cry too.
“I promise,” the little boy said. “That one day I will bring greenery back again. I don't know how now. But I will.” The old man slowly raised his head and stared into the child's resolute eyes.
A smile appeared on the little boy's face.
Old man wipes tears But the mucus still flows. Smiling while sobbing I apologize for what I have done without considering the future of my own children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and nieces.
The old man's insipid condition would continue to be like that. Soon the old man fell asleep. Like a newborn baby Who still can't do anything except eat and sleep, cry when hungry, poop when in pain.
It was time to return home to his tribe. The child realized that he had probably been gone for too long.
The old man was asleep. There was a faint heartache coming out. Just enough to know that you're not dead yet. The child picked up a glass jar and sealed the lid carefully. out of his shoulder bag The jar contained black loam. with little greenery sticking out only 2 centimeters
“I'm going to show Uncle some of this. But he fell asleep first. Save it for another day,” the little boy said as he finished putting his things in his bag. Take a photo book with you. Before stopping, he changed his mind and placed it on the old man's side.
The little boy opened the door. The hot sun shone into his eyes through the goggles he had put back on. He stood and looked and smiled for a moment before thinking:
"What should I do? What should I do?"
