This letter was written in the year 2070 and describes a dire future where water scarcity has led to widespread societal collapse. The writer, now 50 years old, is one of the oldest people left due to health issues caused by dehydration. Everything has changed drastically from the writer's childhood - there are no more trees, gardens or excess water usage. Now water is severely rationed and assaults over water are common. The environment and human health have been destroyed by the lack of water and air pollution. The writer feels guilty for being part of the generation that ignored warnings and led to the destruction of the planet, dooming future generations to hardship.
