Another Discovery
🌅✨ Images from the Edge ✨🌅
The wind rattled the shattered windows of the abandoned library as Ivy Mae and Jas sifted through a pile of scorched crates 📦. Between stacks of papers, they found a battered camera and a small tablet flickering weakly.
Ivy Mae tapped play ▶️, and the screen came alive with images and videos, distorted by the solar storm ⚡.
On the first video, crowds marched through crumbling city streets, placards waving, shouting into smoke-filled skies 🏙️🔥. “We trusted you!” a voice yelled — muffled, angry, but full of raw fury. Another clip showed factories silent, gates chained, and workers wandering empty lots, faces etched with confusion and despair 😔.
Jas pointed at a photo showing a supermarket looted, shelves bare, and a line of people holding rusted carts, waiting for scraps 🥖🥫. “This… this is worse than I imagined,” they whispered, voice trembling.
Another video played, shaky and fragmented, showing investors in panic, phones thrown, suits drenched in rain from protest clashes. Headlines flashed across broken monitors: “Automation Dream Fails: Millions Laid Off”, “Robots Don’t Work, Economy Crumbles”, “Solar Storm Exposes Fragile Systems” 📰⚡.
Roman shook his head slowly. “They thought tech and money could fix everything. They didn’t see hunger, rage, or storms coming.”
Ivy Mae pressed pause on the tablet, staring at the flickering images. “This is the proof of everything,” they murmured. “Not the robots… not the billions… but the people. The anger, the chaos, the lives disrupted. That’s what survives.” 🔮🌾
They packed the tablet carefully, knowing these images — these fragments of the past — were warnings, lessons, and stories for those who came after.
