Scrapheap Sorrow: Final Ride
The air hung heavy with the aroma of rusted metal and burnt oil. A graveyard of broken dreams, this junkyard sprawled before me, a twisted monument to forgotten promises. Each mangled fender, each shattered windshield, whispered tales of wrecks past, lives cut short.
The wind whistled through the hoods of abandoned cars, their shapes casting long shadows in the fading light. A lonely crow perched atop a rusted pickup truck, its gaze scanning the landscape with an air of sadness.
I wandered among the debris, my footsteps echoing on the hard-packed earth. Each piece held a story, a flashback into lives once lived. A faded bumper sticker advertised Worn out car "Keep Calm and Carry On," a cruel irony in this place of decay.
