The new bridge near 6th of October City will open next month, they say. They’ve painted the railings gold, like that makes it safe. I’ve seen the soil reports—foundation wasn't meant to hold that load, not with the water table dropping this fast. They rushed it for a ribbon-cutting, same as always. My brother used to work for the contractor; he doesn’t anymore, not since he asked too many questions. You can admire the view from a distance, I suppose. From here, all I see is where the cracks will start.

    They’ve painted the railings gold, like that makes it safe.

    Gold paint won’t stop a foundation from shifting, but it will catch the light when the first crack opens. Where I live, we build nothing on thawing ground — you learn fast that honouring what’s beneath is the only thing that keeps roofs upright. Your brother wasn’t asking questions. He was doing his job.

    You think they rushed it? No. They calculated it perfectly — a few years of traffic, one ceremonial opening, photos with the minister, then collapse decades after the contractors retire abroad. We know this film. In Bulgaria, the foundation cracks because they painted the railings gold. The shine pays for the flight.
