As the sun set on the small town, the sky was painted in deep orange, like a raging fire. The air
was thick with smoke and ash, and the streets were empty, save for one figure standing on the
bridge. Gazing out at the chaos, he couldn't help but scream, but no sound escaped his throat. The
feeling of suffocation consumed him, as if the very air around was crushing him.

Despite being a good person, always trying to do the right thing, despair and fear consumed him. He
couldn't understand how it had all come to this. The world was falling apart and he was powerless
to stop it. He wished it was all just a bad dream, but he knew it was his reality. Trapped in a
nightmare, alone and in the middle of a disaster, there seemed to be no escape.

However, just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, a hand touched his shoulder. Turning
around, he saw a woman, her face streaked with tears, but offering a small smile. She took his hand
and said, "We'll get through this together."

With her hand in his, a spark of hope ignited within him. Together, they walked away from the
bridge, towards the uncertain future. They didn't know what was to come, but they knew they would
face it together. And in that moment, the scream that had been trapped inside finally found its
voice.
