The End is Coming

It was a day like any other, but at the same time it was not. There was an early vibe oozing around. The trees looked the same, the grass was still green. The animals around were there as well. Under the shade of a tree, a sloth was relaxing. The birds were flying from one tree to another. Most of the animals were in a hurry. But not the sloth. There was a chihuahua dog freaking out and who was trying to find out what was so different about this day. He looked up at the sky and BOOM there it was. A red spot on the blue sky. Did the sun became a little bit brighter? Well the sun was right beside this spot, and it was moving fast. Could it be posible? Could it be a meteorite? The Chihuahua dog started to breathe faster and faster. He had heard about meteors before, and he certainly knew what they meant. His Chihuahua ancestors used to say that the day a star brighter than the sun appeared on the sky. The world will come to an end as we know it. The dog did not want to believe what was happening and he decided to look for a solution. Before that, he began telling about the meteorite and the end of the world to all of the animals
“ The end is near! Run for your lives!” shouted the chihuahua
All the animals began to panic except one, the sloth. The sloth kept calm and enjoyed de cool spring breeze. He knew that in life sometimes there is nothing you can do about certain situations, but he could be in peace, enjoy the present and accept his fate.

“Seize the day, enjoy it while it lasts! Past is gone and the future we ignore, you should enjoy the present. The moment is now. ” the sloth kept saying but no one cared to hear. There was chaos among all the animals, they began to fight and destroy everything out of desperation and at the end the meteorite striked the earth anyway. While they were all worring and preoccupied they did not get to enjoy their last day on earth as we know it. The sloth spent her day relaxing and contemplating everything in her surroundings. After all, all those disturbed souls perhaps remain that way for eternity, while just one soul, the sloth’s soul, left earth in peace and tranquility.
