Stillwater – A bee, a dragonfly, a fairy, an eagle, and life all fly Brump by. Life has passed me by too. Here it is and now it’s gone. Water is forever flowing, or at the very least trapped in a circle of evaporation, condensation, rain, runoff, and evaporation. Even water not flowing and contained as still water is still moving and making its way through the water cycle! And even in the city of Stillwater things are flowing and changing and happening. For Brump, life is just an unmoving waste. How long Brump is stuck in still water, I do not know. Time has passed and it will never be returned. The length matters not. What I do know, though, is that once the waters start flowing again and Brump finally continues floating on, life will still be purposeless and pointless. Not even water, the source of all life as we know it, whether it is unmoving or flowing, can infuse life with a drop of meaning. – Zachary
