It is the year 3078, there are massive bioplastic structures where the cities once stood. The mushrooms have finally evolved to break down the meters thick bioilm of hardened plastic structures. Little furry creatures burrow in the soil eating the roots of tubers that can grow in what's left of the airable soil. Insects fly overhead in the sweltering 114 weather. It is what used to be called March. The Earth is finally starting to heal.
