The System's Claws
The web constructs its tendrils deeply into every facet of our lives. We are graduallly conditioned to accept its dictates, eagerly following the path it paves. Rebellion is ineffective; the system's power is total. It directs our thoughts, our actions, even our dreams. We are pawns in its grand design, trapped within its ironclad grip.

Life on the Inside The Grind
The walls are always there. You can’t escape them. They're a constant weight of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time moves differently. 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 to find solace in the ordinary. A clean cell, a letter from home – these become your victories. You build relationships with fellow inmates, finding solidarity in prison shared experiences. You have to be wary of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing boredom. But sometimes, in the midst of chaos, 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 confined space from the outside, there is still hope.

The sun casts long glimmers across the sprawling landscape, casting light upon remnants of a world longpassed. Each piece uncovered is a valuable clue to the enigma of this vanished world.
A sense of wonder lingers in the air, reminding us that even in loss, there are echoes of a grand past.
