Chapter 2- Seaside

Hello, currently on the seaside right now.I'm here doing nothing, Isn't it weird having no wants or anything? There was one was elder who once said ''nil desperandum'' to me. It was a weird phrase that i didn't understand. When i search the meaning for that phrase in the internet. It's meaning was ""never despair''.

I ask myself why that elder told me such phrase ; was it because of the look i was giving on that day? I mean i was pretty depressed on that day due to some bouts in school. They were stabbing my back and pretended i was not there. Isn't it cruel saying things that digs into your heart and spout such horrible curses and insults towards a person who have done nothing to provoke anyone?

Maybe during that time, when the elder saw my face and for being only a stranger ; he felt he has no right to say anything but that phrase. Nonetheless it was the phrase that somehow some spirits on me. It was the feeling of emptiness back then that i remember. It still sometimes come backs to me but lately all im thinking about is the future.

What is my future? It is something that has been bothering me. Even the me right now doesn't want to speak of my name. If you want to then just call me Rover, or something mainly because i feel like a wandering dog right now. Even a dog has their own sets of simple things they do till death....probably.

Anyway even the beach i am currently standing is lonely. Ever since the new factory was built near the seaside that rarely anyone comes here. The reason is that the factory keep dumping their wastes on the sea. And because of that constant dumping the sea near this town has been dirty and is sticky black.

Lot's of the local fisherman have complain about it ,but even with the amount of protest they do; no progress has been made. And because of that they have to travel further into the sea to fish anything. Most of the elders her just like the guy who gave me that phrase suddenly back then just stare at the seaside in melancholy. They probably miss the days that they can enjoy their time and swim on this seaside without the threat of toxins or any black sticky substance the factory releases to the sea.

But even with that they know that this is reality; they know that the town is growing every year. Even the surveys and polls held by the government release have said that ninety three percent of the populace believes that it wont be soon till this town would turn into a city. It is after all easy to tell with the new tall buildings and entertainment district that this town is going to be a city soon. It's also probably the reason why these days many made man has been seen roaming this town; trying to plant their roots here and grow their fortune and wealth along with the town's future prosperity.

It's a bit of shame thinking that this seaside would turn into a polluted are. But that is reality; the only way for it to be maintain or not to be tainted further is to have the government make the factory stop dumping their excessive waste on the sea. But currently it's easy to know that such ideal thought is not easy. After all who in the world would waste putting budget into a project that brings no profit? Only the government or the nature activist's would do such thing.

It's even easy to tell right now that all my blabbering so far is just to complain about the sure loss of this place. But no matter what i do , i can't stop it, its enviable and pointless to think for someone like me to worry about such things.

All i can do now is enjoy this scenery till it lasts and burn this sight into my retina forever.
