Everyone calls it a city but it doesn’t look much like one. Only a few buildings reach above sea level, the rest were completely flooded years ago.

After the initial shock and grief passed from the devestating flood people got to work rebuilding. They replaced windows with doors, cars with boats and kept building skywards in case of another flood. The stench of petrol and diesel became the smell of saltwater as all the cars - and drivers in them - were drowned. The tall and intimidating buildings suddenly became sad and scarcely scraping the water’s surface.

Some say this is the wake up call that we need but most won’t own up to ever contributing to this in anyway. This city used to have a sense of community, everyone looking out for each other, but now everyone is full of hatred and resentment - only looking out for themselves. Many people thought about moving but where to, most cities are either in the same sorry state as ours or have been evacuated because of the extreme heat.

Everyone is trying to run from this because we didn’t face it when we should have.
