A Reflection by Charlotte Ryberg on the Great Migration

It was not long ago that the ambassadors and the delegates from the World Assembly, from all over the world rejoiced the opening of a brand new forum located much closer to the core of the World Assembly Headquarters. The new forum proved to be a total success, so much so that the old forum, that is, this forum, quickly emptied out once the removal trucks from member states and the fellow WA staff had packed up their stuff and moved on to the new forum. The last active ambassador had left on 18 May.

Ms. Sarah Harper, now involved with the revival of the much improved Humanitarian Aid resolution in the new forum, wandered through the old forum where the dust were gathering upon the furnishings and leftover papers and cobwebs were being spun out without intervention at the corners of the empty rooms and halls. Her footsteps were audible with the cracking floor tiles and the crumpling of old papers. It seemed everything in this forum was frozen. The list of Passed World Assembly Resolutions only ran up to #42. The last debate was for The Law of the Sea by Cobdenia.

The wind gently blows through the empty forum as Ms. Harper sighed and left the old halls for one last time. The ambassadors and the delegates of the World Assembly have appeared to have left this old forum forever, with the records of the legendary events, unbelievable drafts and fruitful debates that had once echoed the forum now stored neatly away in a lone rusting cabinet in the main hall of the old forum.

Yours etc,

All that's left is memories when the hall finally gets demolished to make way for the new Security Council, Ms. Harper.

It is somewhat heartbreaking to see this once beacon of activity and debate in such desolation *sigh*

I guess progress has a price.

EDIT: Oh my, how I do miss my old avatar.
