5 minute freewwrite 2200 prompt blocked bowel

This is my post for #freewriters 2200 prompt blocked bowel hosted by @mariannewest and @daily.prompt

This State tries to keep it secret just how many manatees have died from blocked bowel They do not even tell the public the cause of death and if you ask anyone in the general public why the manatees are dying they will say pollution killed the seagrass in the river.

The truth is the State of Florida needs all the freshwater for the developments that have been going in by the hundreds. To do this they needed to convince everyone that freshwater was harmful to the river.

They would not let it flow into the river naturally, they held it back until we had a long dry spell, no rain, the salinity would rise in the river and they would open the flood gates. zit would be like dumping a lot of freshwater into a saltwater fish tank. An algae bloom would occur
and it would kill the fish. Therefore freshwater was bad.

When they finally stopped most of the freshwater from entering the river, the salinity rose and killed the seagrass. This type of grass needs brackish water to survive.

Manatees lived eating it, but when it disappeared they started eating algae that we call rolling grass, but they could not digest it, it literally blocked their bowels and they starved to death.

This is a terrible way to die......

I will be leaving in the morning for a week, I will try to write my freewrite but I do not know what I will be doing or if I will have the time to get on the computer.

One of my sisters said she was talking to one of my Aunts about me going to Massachusetts and going to visit my grandmother's grave. She said Lizzie Bordon is buried in the same cemetery and as a child, they used to dance on her grave. I will not be doing this.
