Abandoned
The sound of the gravel under their feet seems to recoil off the barren trees like a gong; the area being so silent it almost hurts. The air is so stagnant that they aren’t sure whether or not they’re even inhaling properly. The dryness stings their eyes as they try widening them to get a bettter look, realizing soon that there is no better look.
They appear to be entirely surrounded by lifeless organisms that they always heard were flourishing. The sky that was supposed to reflect vibrantly off vast depths of ocean seemed only to reflect the dust that now replaced it.
Still, as they stare into the desolate land, they can’t shake the feeling that something else is watching them.
