The Urban Beton Beast

Life thrives in the bustle of a concrete jungle. Towering skyscrapers pierce the gray sky, projecting long forms as the sun sets. A cacophony of sounds fills the air - the roar of traffic, the shouts of crowds, and the constant beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of nature persist. Parks become sanctuaries, offering a momentary prison respite from the intensity of the city.

• Ghosts of my former life flickered like faint lights.
• Hope still flickered within me, a beacon in the gloom.
• I dreamed for the day when I could be free from this prison.

A Soul's Worth
