Today's #flashfiction Ruining Ruins

 “Good things come to those who wait.”
Groundhog Day* #quote

If all the colored stickers fall off of a Rubix's Cube do you still win? Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Ruining Ruins

         We'll construct a city! We'll make a monument! The people decide to leave their mark on the land. Magnificent structures are built and the ruins of the old are wiped out, harvested for materials, or damaged to a shadow of their former selves to make room for the new.
         Many, many, years later some new voices speak: We'll construct a city! We'll make a monument! The people decide to leave their mark on the land. Magnificent structures are built and the ruins of the old are wiped out.

        Then after that it begins again and again. All as humanity marches on. Every person that cries “We'll build a city!” is building eventual ruins.
