Vortex

On the ocean, the arid planet sends its orange waves, but the sea doesn't care. It is in full effervescence, it must resist, humanity wants to suck it in.
Unconscious men surf on its waves, ever higher and more wicked, without worrying in the least. The water, struggling, swirls and in turn swallows them, one by one without stopping.
Far away on the horizon, their extraction machine is no longer inclined to dominate, it too will end up collapsing, in the vortex it will have created.
