With their renewed dexterity, they did just that. These small adaptations, and their submerging environment at last made working hands and intelligence not only useful, but necessary for them to confront the new dangers their world imposed on them. The sweat on their palms, particularly their feet, became sticky when contacted with water, almost like a mucus, which helped them grab onto tree branches, slippery prey, and eventually, tools. And with their world continuing to sink further and further down, they couldn't escape the water forever-but against the odds, their useless, winged hands suddenly became useful again, as webbed appendages to help them swim. The trees the Hand Flappers climbed down from became their only meaningful shelter now. Even the mile-high Pyramids of the Qu found themselves drowned The rains poured for more than forty million years. The strange alien gardens of the Qu were being washed away as water levels continued to rise, fresh and salt water combining worldwide to form a brackish soup. While they had done their part to control it during their time on the planet, when they left, the floodgates quite literally opened. The Qu's activities on the planet had caused massive global warming. The Hand Flappers' jubilant march towards extinction was rudely interrupted with a sudden and dramatic change in the climate: a global flood.

And by a few comments left on that page as well! Albeit with a few adjustments I made along the way. this post was inspired by this pic made by ). But more of a want to dabble in All Tomorrows by Nemo-Ramjet, because it's FINALLY gained popularity! Like.this was something I've enjoyed for years now, and it's so incredibly surreal seeing it become a meme now! But y'know what? I'm inspired! XD AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
