The System's Claws
The system weaves its tendrils firmly into every facet of our lives. We are graduallly conditioned to accept its dictates, unquestioningly following the path it paves. Defiance is futile; the system's power is total. It controls our thoughts, our actions, even our aspirations. We are players in its devious plot, trapped within its impenetrable grip.

Life on the Inside Concrete Jungle
The walls are always there. You can’t run from them. They're a constant presence of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time slows down. There are routines, small rituals that help you survive with the monotony. Meals at specific times, counts, yard time when it's allowed. You learn prison to find solace in the ordinary. A clean cell, a good meal – these become your victories. You build relationships with those around you, finding comfort in shared experiences. You have to be observant of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing hopelessness. But sometimes, amidst the darkness, there are moments of beauty. A shared joke, a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this world away from the outside, there is still hope.
Echoes of a Lost World

The stars casts long shadows across the immense landscape, revealing remnants of a world longpassed. Each shard uncovered is a precious clue to the mystery of this vanished world.
A sense of wonder resonates in the air, reminding us that even in loss, there are hints of a extraordinary past.
