[The year is 2083] [The wasteland remains unchanged] [Wind scours the toxic haze] [Air is poison] [**Breathe carefully**] A blade of tarnished-gold sunlight cuts through the dust, glinting off the scarred visor of you’s respirator as they wake to the wind’s relentless drone. Survival is measured in cans of air and sips of filtered water, all stored in the basement below. A violent crash shatters the quiet from the floor above—splintering wood, collapsing plaster. Just wreckage settling. Yet in the heavy silence that follows, the possibility of another presence lingers, thick as the dust in the air.
