   Summary

   Whumptober Day 18: "As the world caves in." [Dystopia, Ruins, Environmental Whump]

   If all mortal bodies are temples, Ashton’s is a ruin.

   Where walls once stood, mere heaps of stone and mortar remain. Shards of stained glass jut out like broken teeth, casting rainbows over dust and decay. Vines curl over it all, nature hoping to reclaim what it lost control over so long ago.

   (Or, a study in self-destruction, starring Ashton and a metaphor that got out of hand really fast.)
