The sun, a blood-red disk, hangs low in the sky, casting long shadows across a desolate wasteland. Crumbling skyscrapers lean precariously, their shattered windows reflecting the fractured world. A tattered flag flutters atop a rusted radio towerâthe last symbol of resistance. Amidst the ruins, a child clutches a cracked hourglass, its sands slipping away. The childâs eyes hold a glimmer of hope, defying the impending darkness.
