Superman

The Heist

The Lost Ones

What once stood magnificent buildings and fauna as far as the eye could see, now stood massive monuments of trash. A small group of survivors set out to orbit in space until the world we once knew was once again inhabitable. They left behind a team of robots whose sole job was to scour the earth in search of any signs of organic life. After generations stuck in orbit, the captain of the spaceship finally received a signal; one of the bots had discovered a seedling growing in a remote part of what was once a massive jungle. Giddy at the prospect of finally returning home he hit the alarm to signal the rest of the crew that their time to reclaim their home had finally come. Everyone gathered around a massive screen to see the live footage. For the very first time, home didn’t quite seem so far away.
