_Utopia_

The records of history,
 like murky muddy mangrove waters under the receding low
tide, reveal the ancient epic tales of long lost ages. The coral crabs scuttle among
the mangroves, the ebb of the clear waters reveals the arched skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus.
A small mouse peekaboos out of an intricate burrow. He says, “The big creatures 
have disappeared, Utopia has arrived.”
