Futile Defense

You  work to build this beautiful castle.  The walls are straight and strong.  The protective moat is deep and wide.  The hours spent making this fortress grow as does the pride and satisfaction of how it's turning out.  But you know the enemy is lurking nearby.  He is ready to pounce at any moment.  You have tried to place the castle out of enemy territory, but the reality is he has no boundaries.  He is a force of nature.  As the waves of enemy attackers approach, you can only hope to make reinforcements.  Yet the enemy marches on. Closer and closer.  Until the first rouge wave of enemy attackers breach your outer wall.  This is only the beginning.  Ones the support structure is compromised the whole thing is in jeopardy.  All your work, your pride and joy has been destroyed beyond recognition.

You build your life, a beautiful strong castle.  However your pride and joy eventually looses the battle against time and the elements. If your support structure becomes weak thrn the whole thing can crumble around you without warning.  Leaving you staring at unrecognizable ruins and cursing the angry sea that took your kingdom from you.
