    The Moon worshipers gathered on a remote hill and looked up at their defiled goddess with sadness. Now that astronauts had walked upon it's surface it had lost it's magic, it's ethereal beauty was forever tarnished. Now it was reduced to nothing but real estate to be divided up and plundered.
    "It's ruined. Damn! They're worse than cockroaches, they get into everything. Bloody humans!"
    The wolf howled at the full moon with a sadness never before heard by it's friends. It turned it's back and wandered into the dark forest where it faded into the twilight of a dying world.
