Prompt: All plant life on the planet is wiped out, except for in Florida.
In the year 2045, a catastrophic event known as the "Green Apocalypse" struck the Earth, wiping out all plant life on the planet. The cause of this devastation was a deadly virus that targeted all vegetation, spreading rapidly and uncontrollably. Within a matter of weeks, forests, fields, and gardens were reduced to desolate wastelands, leaving humanity on the brink of starvation. 
However, amidst this global crisis, there was one place that seemed immune to the effects of the virus - Florida. The Sunshine State, known for its lush tropical landscapes and vibrant flora, remained untouched by the Green Apocalypse. Scientists were baffled by this anomaly, unable to explain why plant life in Florida seemed to be thriving while the rest of the world withered away. 
As news of Florida's botanical resilience spread, desperate people from all corners of the globe flocked to the state in search of salvation. The once peaceful and serene state quickly became overcrowded and chaotic as refugees set up makeshift camps and fought for limited resources. The people of Florida, known for their laid-back attitude and hospitality, welcomed the newcomers with open arms, but tensions began to rise as supplies dwindled and desperation grew. 
Meanwhile, a group of scientists and botanists in Florida were determined to unravel the mystery of why the state's plant life had been spared. They conducted experiments and conducted research, hoping to find a cure for the deadly virus that ravaged the rest of the world. Their efforts paid off when they discovered that a unique combination of minerals in the soil, coupled with a rare genetic mutation in the local plant life, had rendered them immune to the virus. 
Armed with this knowledge, the scientists worked tirelessly to develop a synthetic version of the mineral compound that could be distributed to other regions of the world. They faced numerous challenges and setbacks along the way, from government bureaucracy to resistance from powerful corporations that saw the Green Apocalypse as an opportunity to profit from artificial food production. 
Despite these obstacles, the scientists persevered, driven by their determination to save humanity from impending extinction. Finally, after years of research and testing, they succeeded in creating a synthetic mineral compound that could reverse the effects of the virus and restore plant life to the barren landscapes of the world. 
The news of this breakthrough spread like wildfire, giving hope to a world on the brink of collapse. The people of Florida, once seen as the saviors of humanity, now became beacons of hope and inspiration for all who had suffered from the Green Apocalypse. As the synthetic mineral compound was distributed to every corner of the globe, forests began to grow, fields bloomed with crops, and gardens flourished once more. 
In the end, the Green Apocalypse had not only brought humanity to the brink of extinction but had also united people from all walks of life in a common goal. As the planet began to heal and thrive once more, a new era of cooperation and harmony dawned, with the memory of the dark days of the Green Apocalypse serving as a reminder of the fragility and preciousness of life on Earth. And in the heart of it all, Florida remained a symbol of resilience, hope, and rebirth.
