Story

A lone figure walks towards the screen, the tattered remains of a white robe now stained from the beatings of the harsh environment around him ripple in the wind. Red sand dunes stretch out infinitely behind him, swallowing those longing husks that can no longer push on down into their depths. Bones of great beasts and thick grey square structures of foreign designs penetrate the red wastes, using their last remnants of strength to push back the inevitable.

The Struggler pushes on, his figure passing the camera, lingering on the desert before fading.  A decrypted, dusty town takes up the scene.

Old buildings, forgotten by time and left for ruin stand haphazardly around the town parameters. The entrance is left to suggestion by a dominating archway which leads to a center square. An old pub sits in the middle, the saloon doors feature a carving of a skull and from within the sound of an old, self playing piano sings out of tune, beaconing guests like a Siren.

And on the far side of this veritable wasteland is the boarded up remains of an old mine shaft. The red sands deepen around the entrance to this place, seeping outward like veins of the precious metals hidden below. The sound of the vacuous wind dulls to a soft hum and the black inky void sleeping within those haunted caverns calls to those who have an ear to listen.
