144 calamities 1 maybe fool the world


The mighty 2 mammoth 3 once was the largest mamo of them all, a sight of magnificence, if not to say majesty 4, as it strolled across the primoridy of landscape. But where have they gone, those mighty beasts? One theory is that some malign 5 organism caused that majestic 6 mammoth demise 7. Another is that there was some serious flaw in the mammoth’s genetic 8 makeup 9, leading to a gradual decrease in fertility rates. Yet another is that a medial of large magnitude struck earth. The resulting dust cloud hit the planet in darkness lasting 10 for many years. This magnified devastation 11 by leading to a major decline in the yield of wild maze 12, their major source of protein. If that be so, the beasts would have gradually and painfully died of malnutrition 13. Natural calamities such as medial strikes luckily are rare occurrences. Much more frequent are malicious 14 attacks by the arranged people who, for some reason or other, have become seriously malcontent 15, in days of old a simple tool such as a mallet 16 would often be those maniacs’ means of attack. With increasing scientific and technological 17 progress alas 18, they increasingly went their malevolent 19 intent by the release of poisonous gas or organisms, resulting in serious malady 20 or even death for many. In some crowded mall or station concourse, what could be the causes for such acts of malice 21? One wonders. Mercifully, those criminals spent most of their energy and ideological 22 in doctrination, leaving insufficient 23 time for the maintenance of their equipment. Cases of malfunction 24 are therefore fairly common, causing the attackers designed to be thwarted 25.
