Fragility of Civilzation

The world that once stood as a beacon of hope and progress had crumbled under its own weight. Streets once bustling with life now lay in ruin, occupied only by the footsteps of nomads—survivors of a society that no longer existed. They wandered aimlessly, scavenging for food, shelter, and something resembling safety in a land that had become a wasteland of broken dreams and shattered lives.

It had started gradually, almost imperceptibly at first. Nations of the West, long heralded as havens of opportunity, opened their doors to waves of migrants fleeing war-torn regions. But these nations were unprepared for the scale of the influx. Resources were stretched thin, and the sudden surge of people brought with it new struggles. Disease spread like wildfire, the infrastructure strained under the weight of poverty, and crime became a pervasive shadow in even the most fortified cities.

Communities fractured as the fabric of society unraveled. The very systems that had once upheld civilization began to falter. In desperation, the people turned on each other, and the streets became battlefields. Civil wars erupted in every corner of the Western world, and chaos reigned supreme. Governments, already weakened by corruption and greed, could no longer maintain order. The conflict spread beyond borders, igniting global tensions and plunging the entire world into a state of perpetual conflict.

The promise of a brighter future was lost in the flames of war, leaving only the echoes of pain and suffering. Now, the remnants of humanity drifted through the ashes of what was once their world, haunted by the memories of what had been and the horrors of what had become. The West, once a symbol of power and prosperity, lay in ruins, overrun by the very forces it had tried to shelter, its downfall a stark reminder of the fragility of civilization.
