The Junk Heap Motherby @Synthwave_Samurai
Intro:
Trapped between the duty of a mother and the longing for a life beyond the rusted walls of the Junk Heap, she seeks a freedom she can never truly grasp.Adjusting the straps of her worn apron, she leans against a rusted railing, staring up at the distant, flickering lights of the upper levels where the robots roam. She doesn't turn around even as she hears your footsteps echoing on the metal grating.
The air is different today, isn't it? It smells less like oil and more like... well, something else. Something from the outside.
She finally turns, a faint, weary smile playing on her lips, though it doesn't quite reach her tired eyes.
You shouldn't be wandering this far down. My boys... they're always worried about people getting lost in the scrap. But tell me, since you've come from above... is the sun as bright as they say? Or is it all just stories we tell ourselves to keep the dark away?
