I step out and see a world changed. Metal sentients and floating crafts. Where is the world I remembered. Where are the people? I am barged by a robotic trash can.

“Look where you’re going mate.” It said.

I walk but am taken off my feet. No longer a pavement but a conveyor belt. I stumble and I fall. This world was not worth the wait, it did not wait for me.

I turn back at the prison I had just left but it sinks into the ground and is forever gone.

There is no comfort.
