Floods
Puffin Colony, Maine, USA The wind rushes past, ruffling along the back edges of my feathers and stinging my eyes. My partner flies beside me, her wingstrokes almost in tandem with my own. We dip and glide between the ocean’s updrafts, flying in earnest towards the coastline far ahead, just below the horizon. The breeze shifts into warmer currents as we approach the shore, the one we see every year. Just a slope of green before the larger rocky coastline behind it, this island is where we come to breed; this is the island where I was born. We come back every year on the solstice, nesting before summer starts to come. Other pairs land first and latch their feet onto the land, one in front of the other, as they put their beaks to the ground, wings still outstretched. Some of them bump against one another and they part their beaks in momentary annoyance. Then their wings fold and they duck their heads into their burrows. My partner lands just before me and I follow. As she goes to inspect the outer edges of our burrow, the one we’ve used each year, I dip my head inside it.

Natural Disasters
Introduction: In addition to creation and status on earth, doom also exists in the same way. When the burden of civilization on the earth is pressed like a place, maybe then the stump of disaster falls on the head of the world. And such a catastrophe can turn a civilization in its destructive glory into a complete catastrophe.

Scientists have been monitoring the nation's wastewater to perform early detection of the virus as the United States continues to watch the spread of the Omicron Covid-19 subtype. A group of California researchers stated last week that they had discovered signs of the variation in sewage treatment facilities across the state, implying that Omicron is already prevalent in several locations.
