World Gone Quiet

The streets lay abandoned, a desolate maze of cracked asphalt and forgotten dreams. Once teeming with life, now they were just empty shells, echoing the silence of a nation that had crumbled under its own weight. No voices, no footsteps, only the soft whisper of the wind weaving through the hollow remnants of a civilization that had failed.

The quiet was suffocating, the kind of silence that presses down on you, reminding you of what once was. Skyscrapers, once symbols of progress and prosperity, now loomed like gravestones, monuments to a society that had traded freedom for control and ambition for security. But none of it was enough. The void left in the wake of this collapse was a chilling reminder that the American dream had died, and with it, the spirit of its people.

Cities, once vibrant centers of culture and innovation, had become war zones before succumbing to complete abandonment. Fear and chaos had driven survivors into the wilderness, into the shadows. Now, the streets served as a graveyard for lost hopes, strewn with rusted cars and shattered windows, as if time had frozen in the moment of collapse. Nature had begun to reclaim the land, vines creeping up the sides of buildings, trees sprouting through the concrete, indifferent to the failure of humankind.

This was the new reality—a dream that had turned into a nightmare, one that could no longer be ignored. The stillness was not peace; it was a haunting, a brutal reminder of what was lost when freedom was traded for the illusion of safety. The world had gone quiet, but the echoes of its collapse lingered in the emptiness.
