Rolling red sand tumbles on the horizon, faintly revealing a dead city amid the noisy dust.
The towering skyscraper is broken in half, with remnants that resemble a space elevator embedded mid-way.
The remaining glass curtain walls reflect faint light within the wind and sand, illuminating the desolate alley below.
Unknown dangers lurk behind broken display windows, while mutated hyenas with sharp teeth and claws wander under rusty billboards.
A woman in a cloak stands on a nearby dune, holding a telescope as she gazes toward the skyscraper.
Moments later, a mutated eagle owl with brown feathers and mottled spots flaps its wings and lands on her shoulder.
After meeting its sharp gaze for a moment, she reaches out to stroke the owl's feathers, then tosses it into the sky.
"Kraa—"
The owl screeches, disappearing into the rolling dust.
And the woman in the cloak also vanishes from the dune.
Soon, the wind and sand erase her footsteps, as if no one had ever been there.
