    My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.

        It is (I hope) an original. Though the form “my grandfather would tell stories” might be bordering on cliché.

          I have a feeling that I read this before somewhere

          Especially the “Back when the sky was blue” part

            It just feels like some dystopian, Bradbury-type implication

                That’s what I immediately thought of too

                Pretty sure this is it

            I’d be surprised if I’m the first person to say it. If you find your source though, let me know, would be interested in reading it.
