Hello readers! What you are moving into is my "Writing the World" assignment given to me in my 10th grade creative writing class. This is an prior activity leading up to the Covid Age memoir. We were tasked with writing our thoughts on 2 chosen prompts. The prompts you are going to witness today are "Our galaxy contains a black hole into which our solar system, including earth, will ultimately collapse" and "The human body contains a vestigial tailbone". One of which is featured in my final memoir. You can read the memoir here.
Thank you for reading and please enjoy your holiday into the mind of a 16 years old kid living through the Corona Virus' timeline.
Enjoy...
“Our galaxy contains a black hole into which our solar system, including earth, will ultimately collapse.” A tragic yet undeniable fact in which every astrologist, physicist, and scientist know and believe in. Devastation was brought to me when I first heard this phrase from teachers, TVs, documentaries, and the world wide web. That feeling gradually decreased along with the added number of age and matureness of myself. “Ah, this is so scary, when is it going to happen? How is it going to happen? What are we doing to avoid it?” Would be the questions coming out of my mouth if you were telling this to the younger me. “Ah, I see, well that’s good.” Would be the response you will receive saying the phrase to me now. After experiencing many "traumas” and incidents constantly happening throughout life, numbness and staleness is brought to my mind. Covid-19, the set of genetic codes and spiky proteins have kicked, pushed, and suffocated us into a square box we call a room or home for 2 years. Nothing would beat that, hopefully. Nearly 6 million people died and nearly 400 million infected. Saying to me that the universe is ending is nothing in comparison. I feel happy it is happening. At least it would bring people out of the miseries we are in now. No more pain, no more deaths, no more people, no more life, no more Earth, and no more virus.
THE END
Thousands of year homo sapiens have evolved and mutated. Pieces of our ancestors left behind. The vestigial tail bone would be an example of it. The bone acts as an important key of information that proves human once had a tail. Evidence proving how humas evolved from the same common ancestor as chimpanzees. The concept of evolution is bonded with the concept of natural selection. Once a mutation occurred and takes effect its effectiveness is on the line whether they are passed on to the next generation. If the mutation is better than what is present in the common species, the survival chance of that organism increases giving them a better chance to pass on the trait to the next generation. Both Covid-19 and our ancestors follow this principle. A mutation occurred, it gave them a better chance of surviving, and the mutation is passed on. That’s why Covid-19 is so fucking hard to kill.
THE END
Thank you for reading...
