Short story on mother earth
Answers
She was supposed to die with her sister, Mars, years ago. She’s been sick, plagued by ice age chills, fever swings, and marks on her complexion.
But I knew Earth when she was beautiful, and now that she’s not, I still remember.
It’s a shame I can only see her every seventy years. But that’s the rules of the cosmos, as the mathamatical gears of the universes laws bring us together and sperate again. Our relationshio was long distance, but each time I returned, she looked worse, more tiresome, more feeble.
“Earth,” I cried, swinging by her in an arcing hug, “Earth, you cannot leave me now. You cannot leave me alone, to travel in this solar system for seventy years, and have only sadness when I finally reach you.”
“Halley, my comet, my love.” Said Earth in my embrace, “I fear I am near my end. I have waited this long to see you, and I do not know if I can wait again.”
“No,” I cried, “Surely there is a way. A way for me to spend the rest your days with you.”
