Swishing and splashing against the formidable tides, I awoke from the ocean. After struggling free from the thick, viscous layer of crude oil that lined my surface, I was able to breathe again. I now faced a full force of the Ultraviolet rays from the sun, unblocked by the weak, thin ozone layer. I moved towards the islands nearby to seek shelter. In the vast boundaries of my homeland in the Arctic Ocean, I am surrounded by the seals, penguins and dolphins. They are equally frustrated as me as the weather gets warmer and they have to spend long hours hunting for food, which seems so scarce now. Although I, the Arctic Ocean is home to them where I should provide shelter, there is nothing I can do.
The irresponsible actions of the humans are out of my control. Many geologists, scientists and meteorologists have visited me in their bid for preservation of my homeland, but little has been done. In fact, I have gotten worse with each tide. Piles of rubbish, mainly Styrofoam and plastic lined the filthy shores of my surroundings. There was a tickling sensation as the factories dumped acidic toxic waste into me. It was horrible!
There was a roar of thunder. I thought that it was a storm and the temperature would cool down. I was wrong! It was a mega-hurricane made of acid rain clouds and uprooted entire forests, ripped off buildings and factories. It began raining corrosive acid! Yuck!
Rubbish from the beach and land were hurled into me as the storm subsided. The sun was back, and its rays shone once again. The nearby ice caps began melting and I watched in horror as the glacier slid downwards towards the houses and weather station.
The Earth was an inferno of catastrophes! How I wished that the humans had taken care of the Earth.
