Dust and Echoes

Glass cracked under his boots as he trudged through the city. All around him, three-foot tall blades of grass grew out of the splintered asphalt towards the gray sky. They wrapped around the streetlamps and the bases of the skyscrapers. The ground, covered in pieces of debris from fallen buildings, was barely recognizable. Another slowly crumbled to the ground before his eyes, throwing dust and rubble at his face, but he pressed further into the city. Every step brought back more and more painful memories; memories of him and his friends riding around on skateboards after school every day, looking for more ways to get into trouble. He missed them so much, his friends, but he had more important things to do than reminisce about his past. Something ran between his feet, making him jump and turn to catch a glimpse of it, but all he saw was dust. That’s all anyone saw here anymore: dust.

Dust… and echoes.
