microworldlora. Image of a miniature post- apocalyptic diorama of a once- thriving metropolis now swallowed by an endless desert. Massive dunes creep over the shattered glass buildings, which reflect the blinding sunlight in fragmented shards. The remains of highways stretch like dead serpents through the sand, with abandoned, rusted- out cars dotting the landscape. In the center of the scene, an old radio tower leans precariously, tangled with wires that trail into the sand. Tiny figures, some in makeshift armor, roam the barren land on foot or on scavenged motorcycles, their faces hidden behind masks. A dry, cracked riverbed winds its way through the scene, its banks lined with the skeletal remains of long- dead trees. Above, the sky is a dull, oppressive gray, filled with swirling clouds of dust that choke the horizon, as the distant roar of an incoming sandstorm hints at even more destruction to come
