Introduction to Dystopian Travel Writing
In the shadowed ruins of what was once a thriving metropolis, I journeyed through the desolate streets, where silenced machines and crumbling concrete echoed a forgotten era. The air was thick with a metallic tang, and the sky, a perpetual pallid grey, cast an ominous gloom over the abandoned skyline. As I moved forward, the distant hum of drones reminded me of a surveillance state that never sleeps. Each corner revealed a story of decay and despair—graffiti scrawled over boarded-up windows, remnants of a civilisation long fallen. Despite the bleak scenery, an underlying curiosity drove my steps, seeking traces of hope or resistance amidst the wreckage. This voyage offered more than sight; it was an exploration of resilience and the silence of a broken world, where the voice of the past whispers through the cracks in the concrete.
