Devon! Welcome! :) I agree. I was thinking "pollution"... like there's a veneer of flammable gas or oil sitting on top of the lake, ready to explode. Weee!
That was fun, T. I like your goofy moods. :) Reminds me of mine, though maybe with a touch more darkness or cynicism. Just a touch. :)

ED B:
I was thinking more along the lines of Imbecile Race (& all that Jazz).
Here's a better last line, though:
"Paid for" with promissory notes
Default & push a grand tax bill
