Future Imperfect

"Future Imperfect"
On the shores of a distant land, travellers stand before the decaying wreck of a once mighty civilisation, gleaming and twisted towers of stone and metal all that remains.

Civilisations rise and fall like summer crops. The cycles of progress and disaster follow one another as sure as night follows day.
In the distant future a new civilisation rises from the ashes of our own, oblivious to the history they repeat.
