Did you notice me arrive 200.000 years ago?

Rivers overflow the flood plains and end up on the land. I have come into existence from the mushy depths and want to reproduce them. They will layer a new material environment. The sound of the water dripping is an attractive force, mist on the warm canal makes everything feel damp. It will be quiet at times, but don’t be fooled by functionality. Be sure that it will always rust, always decay. Do you hear me seep, in my return?
