Instead of the constant movement of cars bustling up and down the streets, their powerful engines revving noisily, the roads were empty and void of life, an eerie silence hanging in the air.

Instead of the many beautiful plants that once grew, painting the land in a vibrant array of colors, dead leaves clung to shriveled vines and crumpling stalks, the once green trees mere skeletons of what they used to be.

Instead of the bright and happy homes, their lively owners residing inside, dull buildings stood alongside one another, dark, dusty, and abandoned, with only shattered glass and rotting furniture to fill them.

Even the once shining sun hid behind enormous and shadowy storm clouds, unable to look upon the sad and lifeless world below.
