General Ziplok ©Richard Mark Dobson

Series: Waterworld

Title: General Ziplok

General Ziplok (an intentional play on words of a brand of plastic storage bags) within the context of natural aquatic environments, even one as troubled as the mythological realm called WaterWorld is bad news. Of all the protagonists within this morality fable, Ziplok who leads a great wandering army sows the most destruction. He, together with his henchmen, a great league of trillions, who drift with him upon tides and currents, represent a great evil dark force that snare, suffocate and strangle the unwary. Due to their synthetic makeup they are virtually indestructible and their presence has profound implications for the eco-systems and all other inhabitants struggling for survival within this liquid morass that is WaterWorld.

Yes Ziplok and his plague of maritime brigands represent an ominous plague that have come into being. Principally due to the divergence from sound ethical and moral practices by a much earlier WaterWorld civilization. The now defunct Homo Sapiens.

Their demise and disappearance came about as a result of greed, mass consumerism, an addiction to CO2 and garbage. It was their willingness to jettison much of their ‘industrial output’ into the surrounding environment, in particular the surrounding oceans, which where at one time, at a much lower level. By treating their great ocean larder as a toilet, it was only inevitable that they would seal their fate and a more ominous idealogical group would emerge from the vacuum left in place. Welcome to General Ziplok. he’s planning to be around for the next 10,000 years.
