A mixture of singed hair, melted iron, and exhaust fumes, filled the air. A worker coughed as he breathed in the perpetual smog that blocked out the blue dawn sky for the last century and a half, wishing for a breeze to clear the air. He was young. Brown hair, olive skin, average height, almond-shaped blue eyes. The youth's eyes were dulled, seemingly through experiences of one far older. His washed out eyes gazed at the grey shifts around him, taking in the slumped forms that trudged amongst the computer wasteland. Their keen eyes were stuck firmly to the ground in front of them, scanning for treasure amongst broken memory boards and obsolete smart phones.

Daedalus brushed a rough hand through his dark hair, taking in the vast land around him one last time before sighing and joining the scavengers. His pack soon became full of odds and ends. Dae had a gift for finding working bits of technology in the piles of cracked screens and smashed disks. He stretched his back in an arch, cracking his neck side to side, and reached for the fluffy white clouds that he knew still existed somewhere behind the grey that made up his world.

FANGED

I sat behind the couch, scrunched in a fetal position, hiding from the sliver of sun which managed to squeeze its way out from behind the drapes. My tormentor. Once a beloved friend, now it holds me captive behind this couch with nothing to keep me company but some cobwebs and fuzzy dust-bunnies.My newly improved eyes spotted a small, dark colored circular disk amongst the shag carpet. Slowly I eased my way over to it. Score! It's a brown M&M. Popping the tiny sweet treat into my mouth, I carefully chewed...trying not to puncture my lips with my freshly acquired fangs. I smiled.
