Exploring Directional Prepositions in a Dystopian Setting
In the crumbling city of Neo-Arcadia, survivors move cautiously through the shadowed alleys and abandoned streets. The sky is perpetually covered with a thick layer of smog, casting an eerie grey light. As the sun struggles to break through, citizens navigate by following faint glow-worms that cling to the walls, guiding them away from danger. The remnants of a once-bustling metropolis now lie beneath layers of debris, with pathways winding through the wreckage in unpredictable directions. Amidst the chaos, a young rebel named Mira darts behind fallen pillars and along shattered corridors, trying to stay hidden from the patrol drones overhead.
