Welcome to the planet Earth.
Some time in a distant past, this planet had life- it was a green and blue oasis in an otherwise lifeless, dark universe. It was filled with all kinds of strange, wonderful creatures, from small, flying creatures called insects to giant, majestetic sea dwellers called blue whales. This was the one and only planet in the entire universe to host life.
At some point in time, a harsh, cold wind blew around the planet, exterminating all its life. That cold wind still rages once in a hundred years, but there is nothing left for it to murder. Instead, this wind freezes the oceans and skies, covering it with a cold, white carpet of ice and snow.
Today, Earth is just another dark, cold and lifeless planet in a dark, cold and lifeless universe.
Welcome to this frozen desert called Earth.
