Water splashed into a pristine pool
Ripples emanated from the centre
Streams added to the vast amount of liquid Becoming larger and larger by the second
More lakes joined it
Water trickling
Flowing from an unknown source
Salty water appeared from nowhere
The world blurred
Rivulets eroded the smooth surface
Water cascaded into the abyss
Down, until it could not drop any further Eventually, it was unable to hold itself back
It leapt, it's future denied
The tear shattered on the floor.
