The last sunset

In the not-so-distant future, the earth had become a barren and polluted wasteland. The effects of climate change and the continued exploitation of natural resources had led to the extinction of most flora and fauna. The few remaining humans had to seek refuge in the cities in the clouds.

Life in the cities was not easy, with the constant hum of machinery and the thick smog that hung in the air. The sun was rarely seen, but when it did peek through the clouds, it painted the sky with dramatic sunsets that were both beautiful and tragic.

The pollution in the atmosphere caused the sunsets to take on an otherworldly appearance, with vibrant hues of orange, red, and purple illuminating the horizon. It was a sight to behold, but it also served as a constant reminder of the destruction that had been wrought upon the earth.

The citizens of the cloud cities had adapted to their new way of life, but they longed for the day when they could return to the ground and rebuild what had been lost. They knew that it would be a long and difficult journey, but they held onto hope that one day they could make the earth inhabitable once again.
