In the not-so-distant future, the Earth was a shadow of its former self. Once teeming with life and lush landscapes, it now bore the scars of human greed and negligence.

Cities had sprawled across the continents, leaving little room for the untouched beauty that once flourished.

The sky was tinged with a perpetual haze, and the air was thick with pollutants that choked the very essence of life.

As the last pristine forests were cleared for urban development, the symphony of nature’s chorus faded away.

Birds no longer sang, their melodies replaced by the constant hum of machinery and the shrill sounds of sirens.

Rivers that once flowed clear and pure now meandered sluggishly, their waters tainted by the chemicals and waste that humans had thoughtlessly discarded.

In this bleak world, a young woman named Maya yearned for the stories her grandmother had told her of when the Earth was a vibrant tapestry of colours and sounds.
