As requested, here is the VO separated from the original animation, plus a transciption of the story.

They seemed inert.

Unquestioned fixtures on the horizon.

As much a part of the scenery

as the trees, and streams, and hills.

Not strange, or unusual. Or alien.

Until the day it was decided

collectively, spontaneously,

that the time was nigh.

They remembered everything 

as it had been before:

Untouched, unspoiled, pristine.

And they wanted it that way again.

And so, in a blink, the others were erased.
