In a desolate waste where little life can exist, skeletons of what was once great litter the landscape. Remnants of iron beast sit and rust under a pail sun. The cold wind chaps the fractured frames of buildings long since abandon. What few people that are left shuffle through the desert that once was prosperous. They shiver at the rattle of metal carcasses that shake and quake as their last few welds and bolts begin to corrode apart. In what was once mighty city, before it was gutted by political leeches, many look  on in despair as what is left of hope fades away.
