When the world swung wild it reeked with the dead. Bodies washed to sea, buried in mud, ripped, smashed, torn, or simply gone. We did it. We ruined ourselves. This is the mantra we were taught and it has become a part of our genome. We tell the story of our own destruction in a thousand different ways so we do not forget. Never forget. It was the flood, that in back times was called the Flood. Not a literal flood everywhere, but a washing away of humanity nonetheless. And it was good.
Good for the world. This we also have been taught so we do not forget. The Great Unburdening helped the Earth as it destroyed humans. Humans are destruction. Humans needed to be destroyed. Not completely, though. Here we are, after all. We live on, but we remember.
