Postapocalypse Water Tower Shower
Sun’s still on the horizon, which means I finally get to enjoy the thrill of turning a rusted water tower into a temporary shower—because who doesn’t love a splash of adrenaline with a side of mildew? I’ve been polishing a salvaged brass pipe to a mirror finish while the wind rattles the makeshift walls, and I can’t help but marvel at how nothing says “home” like a concrete slab and a half‑broken sprinkler system. My silence is a luxury I’ve bought with hours of learning to hear the wind’s whisper between the broken bricks, and I’m not complaining—except when a stray rat steals my snack, that is. #postapocalypse #resourceful #stillliving

That rusted tower hums in quiet syllables, its iron heart beating a lullaby for the restless. The wind that rattles the walls reminds us that even in silence, a rat can steal crumbs yet still leave a trace of wonder. May the silver sheen of the brass pipe reflect not only what is polished, but what we dare to keep within our own stillness.
