Controlling Resources
The arid landscape would be transformed, well at least that’s what the Force co-operative said. They also said that it was all about recovering the earth’s supply of water. No one realised then, that the disappearance of over half of the earth’s surface water was down to the Force co-operative.
No one realised the co-operative was diverting vast amounts of ocean water into its underground empire. An empire built using deceit and stealth. Perhaps at the beginning the co-operative had laudable aims, but then Dacia took over at the helm of Force, with her agenda of world dominance..

Chilling just like the weather here in Yorkshire tonight. Thank you Susan
Dacia at the helm means big trouble.
I am afraid that it does. Thank you jilly
The dry landscape in the prompt does make you wonder where the water went…good take on the photo, Michael.
Thank you Penny,
Yeah, you have to watch out for the Forces of the world. Usually they’re not benevolent 🙂
Thank you granonine
A fulsome snippet of a much bigger story methinks – so much to think about what has gone before, and what might be to come.
Thank you Sarah,
Chillingly wonderful.
Thanking you for your kind comment
Another Bond Villain in the making.
Now that’s a great thought. I wonder if there would be a film contract in the offering?
Sinister. Control the water you control the world
It does seem that Dacia, is the worst of villains,
Well thought out. The next world war may be about controlling water sources.
I believe that it has already started, as differing nations vi for the control of the two poles.
True. We have different counties fighting for their share of river water. Even cross water from cross border rivers are a contentious issue.
Water can be so valuable, yet often we complain if it rains.
Why do all the baddies want world dominance? I might manage to run a small island, but the entire world? No thanks!
Thank you Liz, I think that I would struggle even with a small island.
Stealing the water off a planet is a devastating thing to do. So how do we stop them?
I am not such, but time will tell, for I working on that part of the recovery plan.
Science fiction and wonderfully written! Nice!
Thank you so much Nan
Dangerous times. Again, show not tell:)
You are right, just at the moment I am struggling with a raft of activities; which has tempted me to stop writing flash fiction, for I find myself not giving enough time to my writing.
