Vasundhara, now sitting on
the floor, took notice of it. She was crest fallen. The lab wore the deserted
look. The thunder outside was raging. She had seen the ray of hope. Hope that
might lead to establishment of the habitable colonies back on Earth.

This WILL be our future if we don't start doing things right! Brilliant take on the prompt, Anagha! I loved how cryptically you've used the name Vasundhara:)
Thank you for writing for #FridayFotoFiction

Appreciate your minute observation Mayuri! Agree that if we dont take appropriate steps, soon we will loose mother Earth.

Human race is gonna pay, if we don't take of our planet. Dunno if we will have some other place to go, however, if ask me, we don't deserve another planet, for we will destroy it too. An extremely brilliant take on the prompt, Anagha. 🙂

Its sad but true. We dont deserve any other palce unless we mend our ways. And if we mend our ways, there will be no need of other place! Thanks for visiting and adding to the discussion.

It's time we take some serious steps towards sustainable development so that our future does not look like this.
A beautiful take and scary… pray it never come true Anagha.
