the sky is a deep, dark red, almost like blood. the sun is a huge orange ball that's barely visible through the thick layers of smoke and dust that fill the air. the ground is dry and cracked, covered in a layer of fine grey ash. there are no trees or plants, and the only animals are sickly - looking rats and crows. the air is thick and difficult to breathe, and every breath feels like you're inhaling razor blades.
