Yeah
This one sci-fi novel I read had a part where this guy was on a planet that humans were terraforming but it only had plants. Not a single animal of any kind. No insects or anything. It wasn’t like the greatest book but I spent a lot of time pretending I was there. It’s a crazy ****ing thought. When the story moved on and birds were introduced into the ecosystem I felt sad that my fictional plant world was gone.
