Once upon a time, there was a town.

In this town, everything had to be bigger, better, faster, more convenient. Nobody walked if they could take the helicopter, nobody climbed the stairs if they could take the elevator. Puffs of big black smoke came out of factory chimneys and the factory owners had bets on whose smoke would be the blackest and biggest.

The weather began to change. It rained or snowed when it wasn't supposed to. Sometimes the sun shone piercingly bright for days on end. Sometimes it grew cold. The townsfolk built better, more efficient structures to combat this climate change.

Now, unseen by the citizens, there lived some monsters in a cave nearby. These were the pollution monsters, and they thought bigger was better, too. Each one tried to get the biggest, heaviest carbon footprint. Considering how much pollution was going around these monsters had no problem getting greenhouse gases to grow on. They grew bigger and bigger.

Their feet grew bigger and bigger.

"Now to test who has the biggest carbon footprint!" the Chief Monster announced.

With shrieks of delight, the Monsters ran to the town. The townspeople saw them approaching and gasped. The monsters lined up. Each one raised their right leg.

"When I say GO," the Chief Monster said, "all of you bring your foot down so we can measure your carbon footprint. Ready-steady-GO!"

A hundred monster feet came crashing down on the town.

All the biggest, most convenient structures were destroyed, along with the people in them All that was left of the town was the carbon footprints of the monsters, with their measurements written neatly in.

So, the town died sadly ever after.

The end.
