Leo walked down the deserted street, his footsteps echoing faintly against the silence of the empty city.
The sky above was overcast, casting the ruins in a dull, gray light. Broken buildings lined the street like silent sentinels, their windows shattered and walls crumbling.
Abandoned cars, rusting and covered in dust, were scattered haphazardly along the road, a stark reminder of how quickly life had been upended.
