Doomed

My survival instinct was strong despite my clothes being sodden from the current deluge, but still, the fear about my potential demise rose within me. The sludge gained height in the streets from the past rains, signaling danger. I didn’t know how much higher it would rise and all the damage it would create. The climate finally passed the point of no return. I began to trudge through the waist-deep water toward the safe inner sanctum of the highest building in our city. I was one of the few who made it. Was our currently elected despot enjoying the show?
