Everyone cautiously stepped outside to the backyard, where the chaos happened. I looked around and breathed a heavy sigh. This place was beautiful before. It was blooming, radiant with natural beauty that is rarely seen in a world rife with pollution. Even amongst the displaced land and uneven terrain form the earthquake, this place still maintained its beauty, no doubt through the efforts of all those who worked here.
I feel no pride knowing that I was the pollutant that wreaked havoc on this place. A foreign object that had no business being here, one that obliterated the beauty that the people of this place strived for. I turned back at the entourage of people who were still following me cautiously. I heaved a sigh once more.
