Infiltration (1)

The sky above was dark and grey, a strange color that didn't appear natural. The light of the sun never seemed to reach this land, but it was strangely not entirely dark either. It was more like a misty haze that made this place a shadowy world bathed in a dim light. Despite the strange atmosphere, the streets of this shadowy city were bustling with a variety of people. 

Although it appeared to be bustling with life, it was an illusion, because if one looked deep enough they would see the decay beneath the surface. To the observant, a stench of death permeated this city.

"I think Anathema would have been right at home in this place."
