No Way Forward

America had become a wasteland. Fires scorched entire regions, turning once-thriving cities into ash. Floods followed, drowning neighborhoods under murky waters, erasing streets and homes. Hurricanes tore through the coasts, leaving only splintered wood and debris in their wake. Earthquakes cracked the land open, swallowing whatever remnants of stability remained. The devastation was endless, and hope seemed to disappear with every disaster.

Whole communities, once bustling with life, were now ghost towns. Houses, ravaged by nature, stood empty, their windows shattered and their roofs caved in. Abandoned cars cluttered the roads, their rusting frames a grim reminder of the lives that once passed through. Not a single soul wandered the streets. The only sound was the eerie howl of wind moving through the ruins.

The government, crippled by corruption, was powerless to respond. Promises of aid were nothing more than empty words. The nation's coffers had long since run dry, and bankruptcy loomed like a final blow. There was no plan, no vision of recovery. America had been gutted from the inside, and now, nature was finishing what greed and neglect had begun. 

Wrecked homes, fields of rubble, and endless stretches of silence were all that remained, a country left behind to rot. The future was a void, and there was no way forward.
