Another piece of mine with a strong reference to environmental issue. When are we going to stop our destruction of Earth before global warming (or climate change, as it is called now to prevent confusion) or other natural disasters kill us all?
If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.
About the challenge: Each Tuesday I will provide a photo prompt. Your mission, if you choose to accept the challenge, is to tell a story in 280 characters or less. When you write your tale, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. This is important as I have noticed that some of the ping backs have not been working. If you would prefer to post your tale in the comments (some people have very specific blog themes but still want to participate), I am happy to post a link to your site when I post your tale in the Round Up.

Thank you for reading. I can’t imagine how it would be like to be boiled alive as well. I have never been there before but I always believe we should be there just to enjoy the sights…
