(Un)natural Landscapes - Soviet climate disaster Edition

Death of the Sea. Aral used to be the 4th largest lake in the world on the territory of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. However, due to Soviet government relentlessly using it for irrigation, it dried up and the surface area shrank by 60%, volume by 80%. Now, most of the sea is a dry dessert with eerie looking ships in the sand.

Gates of Hell. The Darvaza gas crater. It is a burning natural gas field, collapsed into a cavern in Turkmenistan. The crater formed in 1971, allegedly when Soviet geologists were drilling for oil and natural gas. Years later it was set ablaze to prevent the poisonous gas from escaping and has not stopped burning.

Ever-Red Forest. The Ginger forest is a ten-square-kilometer area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine and Belarus. The name comes from the ginger-brown color of the pine trees after they died, following the absorption of high levels of ionizing radiation. Usually an evergreen pine forest ominously turned red.

I used references for shipwrecks, the skeleton and the deer!!

alone

He fumbled with the cell phone, barely able to see it through blurring vision. It fell on the carpeted floor and he let out a laugh that ended in a half sob. "Fuck." He mumbled and stopped his frantic movement for the phone. "Stop. Stop..." Liam murmured to himself running both trembling hands through his jet black hair. He stayed liked that for a moment, his hands atop his head. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath trying to calm himself down. He hasn't been doing a good job of that lately, and tonight he was nowhere near capable of being by himself. He was going to end up doing something stupid and he had done enough stupid things already. Slowly, he opened his eyes to drop his gaze down to the phone on the ground.

Lowering himself to the ground he picked up the device and sat down on the bed right next to it. With one sleeve he wiped his face of moisture, sniffing quietly. He felt stupid and ridiculous and utterly weak. The sound of his fath--of Owen's ridiculing voice was in his ears repeating deprecating words over and over. He heard the sounds of the many anonymous voices that had whispered words in his eat. His head was swimming. His thumb scrolled down mindlessly, pausing for several seconds on Loki's pseudonym before scrolling further down to Ginger's. He slid the touch screen over to start the call and cleared his throat a few times before he heard her pick up.

"Hey..." He paused. "Uh, would you mind if I...came over?" Liam wiped one hand on his jeans, blue-green eyes staring up at the ceiling. "I...I don't think this whole staying by myself thing is...working out too well."
