“I know the way, follow me”, he spoke with hubris as the children trudged down the path; a bleached path through the centre of some drooping rapeseed, the poison rain had damaged the crop and the sun burned amber through the opaque static atmosphere.

Only rats scurried through the streets, feeding on the corpses which littered the once bustling market square as the t-shirts hung listless and dust covered on the dusty silver rails.
