SCIENCE FICTION STORY:

It is 2037, my best friend Romina and I just finished the project of our lives as Scientifics, the “TimeShift Wristwatch”, and we are ready to use it. While we put 2029 in our watches, I remember the reason why we are doing this. 

Above all, everything has been a chaos since during the last few years water scarcity came across the world because of a new corporation in 2029 called “Hydrotech” They brought up a project of water purification as if it was going to be substantial in our future, receiving multiple donations for they to accomplish it but, what they wouldn't say, because they only wanted money, was that therefore they processed the water, they will release highly toxic chemicals to aquatic ecosystems so, in our present people started dying without water, and in this scenario, we undoubtedly need to work out our plan and save of present. 

We turned up in 2029 and found the company building entrance alone for us to start our plan. Romina and I have been preparing this sabotage for years and studied everything for it to be perfect.

-Hey, don't worry, we are going to succeed. I said.

-I hope so, let's do this!

Subsequently, we carefully started running into the installations, even though it was easy due to it hadn’t started its operations yet, and found the main office looking for what we needed.

-I found it! 

I looked at Romina with a big smile after seeing her with the paperwork that could prove how the company would do their operation and took photos quickly. After that, we got out of there and started posting them on different anonymous accounts through all social media and hoped that as a result, people would get along and not let the company start their functions. Before turning back to our present I told Romina:

-Are you ready for our new lives?

And she told me:

-I've waited for so long, so it must be great.

We arrived at our present and found out that as we had called off the company’s project, people around the world made it viral and created campaigns, so Hydrotech never opened also, another company created by people from those campaigns emerged, and dedicated to ecological and water-saving projects that benefit us, and of course our planet!

-Romina, we made it!

-Yes, we did it bestie, I said with excitement.

How did I save water yesterday?

Well, yesterday before going to sleep I brushed my teeth as usual but remembered to turn off the faucet when I didn't need to use water so I won't waste it!
