Copy and paste the prompt below and replace the parentheses with a word that makes sense. For example, when it says (gross substance) replace that with a substance that is gross like rotting garbage on a hot summer day.

Hey guys! Welcome back to my nature survival vlog — today’s video is called: “Trapped in the (ecosystem) for 24 Hours 😱”

So I started my morning chilling with some (plural animal) and drinking fresh water from a (natural feature). But then I heard this loud (annoying sound) and saw a massive (machine) tearing down all the (plural plant).

The animals went totally wild — even the (animal) ran away like I just dropped a creeper in Minecraft. I tried to build a shelter out of (plural object), but everything smelled like (gross substance) because of all the pollution.

Then this weird invasive (insect or plant) started taking over. I couldn’t find any clean (noun) to drink, and all the food sources were gone.

I finally found a drone flying overhead with a banner that said (funny message) and realized the ecosystem was totally (adjective) now.

Anyway, don't forget to like and subscribe so we can raise awareness and plant some more (plural plant). Nature deserves a comeback!
