Ruined Cities — James Tallett

The cities of humankind have crumbled, and the time of civilization is at an end. Nature reclaims what once belonged to it, while wretched creatures scrabble for the leavings of decay.

The life of man is now solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short, trapped by the reminders of the past, and blessed with a barren future.

Turn the page, and behold a majestic devastation.
