This is my entry for ZapFic Monday - week 52.
In the night when all is calm,
The storm comes creeping - an opponent in nature.
No one hears her coming until it's too late,
And the market is ripped apart by the force of her wind.
She brings ruin to all she touches - a storm without remorse.
This was a poetic tale from the city of Lazarus, A dystopian metropolis half sunken in the sea, along with ai art created with stable diffusion inspired by the words of the poem. War and climate change took its toll on this and every other city we know. This is one of many short tales of a young woman and her daily life surviving in the ruble of the modern world.
