As Under As Above. Seeking Solace Amidst The Dark
Jayani Patel
In the distant future, global warming and earthquakes transformed the landscape into a rocky desert. Cliffs obstructed the monsoon clouds, creating a desolate world. In this place called Sookhad, a community of survivalists emerged amidst semi-ruined structures. Some survivors discovered a mysterious bulge in the earth and, driven by curiosity, began exploring. Utilising their skills as stoneworkers, they delved deeper, escaping the heat and discovering a more vibrant environment. They settled around this newfound water source, creating a unique world beneath the surface. With private chambers, a shared courtyard, and a bathhouse to savor the water, their community thrived in the shadows, seeking solace and tranquility amidst the darkness.
