Day 1: Drowned


telecabins going to and from a platform atop a ruined towerblock, sunken into an emerald sea

Day 365: Rebuild

With the ever rising ocean levels at its peak and a large rainstorm consuming the whole world, the Earth has been drowned. Cities destroyed and landscapes sunken, the human race has to adapt to this new world in order to survive.
