Humans! They Lived In A World Where The Grass Continued To Be Green And The Sun Rose Every Day And Flowers

Humans! They lived in a world where the grass continued to be green and the sun rose every day and flowers regularly turned into fruit, and what impressed them? Weeping statues.

I thought it was something to do with how it sounded out loud, but that didn’t work…

You guys. It’s Saturday Night Dead.
