-Cough: Me vs The World-

Lungs of Pak, Human. 12 Jan 2005. Morning.
A cough. That's what I've got myself into now. Some disease that's threatening to disrupt my breathing capabilities and rupture my oesophagus. Phlegm. The icky goo that's inside. One of the things that do trigger the irritations. Everytime one coughs, thier heart skips a beat. The expulsion of air via coughs are impressively quick and the throat suffers a lot.
Phlegm...Coughing it out would be good but at the very expense of the throat...in the short term...it might be as bad...but in the long term...it's even more beneficial. Coughing it out would eradicate the root of the problem. Hence coughing it out...pretty much the thing to do these days


60km off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, Earth. 26 Dec 2004. Morning.
Earth got a cough too. One so bad and violent that it triggered a massive wave, expanding from the epicentre, rippling out towards land masses all around. A major tsunami, created from one landmass hiccup - no, cough - registering 9.0 on the richter scale.... The water wall ripped inland and displaced millions. The aftermath - hundred thousands lost thier lives, even more injured, marine activity disrupted, meaning majority of the people's livelihoods lost. Widespread flooding, epidemics, infrastructural damages, impact on economies. Such a terrible sight. The weeping. The grieve. Comfort came in the way the whole world reacted to the incident. It united the world. Donations and aids came swiftly... Perhaps it was this that made people realise that thier lives are very much in the hands of Mother Nature. We are but many of a more superior species, small and weak, depending on our ingenious creations to enhance our living. We continuously harvest the resources from the natural world for our own exploits while returning to her what we discard. Be forewarned...mother Nature has more up her sleeves. This is really just the beginning of a series of events that could signal the end of mankind. Terra's face could once again change.
