Holding Onto the Remnants of Past

''Lately, I've been wanting to get out of the city even more. But the government doesn't even let us do that in peace, surveillance drones are always nearby, making sure we never go too far away.

I find myself coming to this spot a lot lately. Reminds me of better times. This old car reminds me of our old car. My dad had a similar one when I was a kid. I come here to find peace. Remnants of the past ease my mind.

Escaping the view of the city, however, seems impossible. The skyscrapers not only scrape the skies, but they now pierce it. We built higher and higher, perhaps in search of heaven above the skies... but instead, we've converted earth into something else.''

I imagined a future where we build high buildings, so high that we cannot escape their sight and maybe their shadow one day. We will hold onto the remnants of the past to ease our minds. Much like we already do now, with nostalgia.
