Oxygen begins to spread across planet Earth. Oxygen is the element that ruins the others, encrusting their pure surface with a layer of chaos and decay.

Life, and civilization itself, from a chemical perspective, can be thought of as an organized resistance to oxidation. Here and there, we manage to stem the tide and even turn it back a little, by stripping metals from their ores, planting forests, extinguishing fires, but never for long on a geological scale. Oxidation accompanies the march of time and the inevitable triumph of entropy. Oxygen gives life, but in doing so, it makes death closer and more inevitable.
