Goodbye Pond
Personal memory by Abdiel Nieves
2018 • Maitland, FL, USA
In my neighborhood there used to be an area in the back where there was a big pond filled with fish, trees surrounding it, and benches and tent to have picnics. Not too long ago I noticed some fences going around the area and shortly after they drained all the water out and replaced the entire pond with roads to access from the back. It was disappointing because I used that area to think and relax from stress.
