Its Vicious Hold

The matrix conjures its tendrils firmly into every facet of our lives. We are graduallly conditioned to accept its dictates, blindly following the path it prepares. Defiance is futile; the system's power is total. It manipulates our thoughts, our actions, even our desires. We are players in its elaborate scheme, trapped within its impenetrable grip.

• Ultimately, freedom resides within. It's a state of understanding, where we decide to thrive in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.

Life on the Inside Concrete Jungle

The walls are always there. You can’t get away from them. They're a constant weight of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time slows down. There are routines, small rituals that help you navigate with the monotony. Meals at specific times, headchecks, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a good meal – these become your victories. You build relationships with those around you, finding solidarity in shared experiences. You have to be wary of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing boredom. But sometimes, against all odds, there are moments of beauty. A shared joke, a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this concrete prison from the outside, there is still hope.

The stars casts long silhouettes across the immense landscape, illuminating remnants of a world longpassed. Each shard uncovered is a incomparable clue to the enigma of this lost world.

A sense of wonder permeates in the air, reminding us that even in destruction, there are hints of a grand past.
