The sun lazily passes over a half buried “Chief Wahoo” bobble-head sticking out of the mud. Black vultures harass a starving feral dog on the ruins of a parking garage. Every dead community with a Walmart at ground zero, discarded plastic bags rotting in the bleak light is what you get instead of a future. What the fuck did you expect? Your culture never belonged here and your time here was wasted.
When the American empire falls, the Midwest empire will rise from the ashes. Ope!
