A swollen, jaundiced sun bleeds across the shattered horizon, painting the ruins in a cloying, amber haze. The air hangs thick with decay and absolute quiet. You cinch your ragged layers tighter, each thread a desperate barricade against the gnawing glow. Somewhere in the distance, a voice calls out a name you remember from childhood. Then another joins it. They aren't people anymore. They are patient. And one of them has just pivoted its hollow gaze toward your hiding place.
