Reading Passage: A Dystopian Future in the Graphic Novel
In the shadowed ruins of what was once a thriving metropolis, a lone figure cloaked in tattered garments moves silently through the debris. The sky above is a perpetual haze of ash and smoke, casting an eerie pall over the deserted streets. Amidst the crumbling facades, flickering holograms of a bygone era pulse weakly, remnants of a world lost to chaos. The protagonist, known only as ‘Echo,’ navigates carefully, her eyes scanning for signs of life or danger. Her worn boots crunch over broken glass as she approaches a dilapidated control tower. Inside, the flickering screens still display static, but the faint outline of a map beckons her onward. Echo’s mission is clear: to find the hidden archive that holds secrets to reclaiming the future. As she moves deeper into the darkness, she reflects on the sacrifice and resilience that sustain her in this bleak landscape. Every shadow seems to whisper stories of a lost civilization, echoing the fragile hope that someday, the remnants of humanity might rise again from the ashes.
