I leaned against the railing and scanned the lake. The lake was a weird brownish-green color. I chuckled. "It looks like crap," I thought.
Then I sighed. Dirty, polluted water. I had seen water in old movies that looked crystal clean. "I'll never see water like that," I thought.
My mind wandered to new environmental laws that were being passed. Idiots. They don't know that the environment can never be the same again. We fucked it all up centuries ago. They were just delaying the inevitable.
What's the inevitable you might ask. I'll tell you. Bye-bye nice clean planet. Looking at the water now, I'd rather be on the colonies. But Heero wants to stay on Earth and I want to stay with him.
I sighed again as Heero walked up behind me. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"This," I said sweeping my arm across the lake. "They had to go and ruin something as beautiful and precious as water."
"Some people are just idiots," he said. "They take it for granted."
I ran my fingers through my hair. "Let's go," I said.
I turned around and Heero hugged me. We stayed in that position for a while, then separated. We walked over to the car, and before I got in I took one last look at the lake, then shook my head.
We drove away.

I know. It sucks right. It's just something I thought of while on a boat in Lake Erie. Oh well. R&R.
