The underground chamber was hollow and bare, a room of concrete and shadows that seemed to stretch farther than the eye could follow. Dust drifted from the ceiling in fine threads, stirred by the distant reverberations of war above. Every few seconds, the earth groaned as if remembering its own death, the tremors of ruin seeping into the bones of the bunker.
There were no people here—only the residue of their existence. A broken chair in the shadows leaned against the wall as though abandoned mid-thought. A rusted lantern sat on the floor, cold and silent, a relic of someone who once carried light into this darkened place. The silence was suffocating, punctuated only by muffled echoes from above: the distant roar of fires feeding on what remained of the city, the mechanical whine of drones circling like carrion birds, and the faint, thunderous percussion of collapsing structures.
The room was a void where time itself felt hesitant, where the only certainty was the steady hum of destruction pressing down from the world above. Somewhere beyond these walls, freedom fighters endured, but here—in this emptiness—the air was heavy with the weight of loss and the lingering question of whether hope could survive the endless ruin.
