The only thing that stays the same

Another week passed by as Vlaras would not stop turning just because the proverbial plug got pulled on the Vlaras Global Positioning and Intergraded Information Neuro Network regardless of how many people felt like the world had stopped.

Those seven days seemed to want to prove the old saying that the only thing that stays the same is everything changes. Central was almost unrecognizable even to those who had lived through the events that reshaped it, and the way of life it represented.

Black heavy boots could be heard walking across uneven broken pavement along the perimeter of what was now being called the Central Core Exclusion Zone as the light of dawn bathed the city in increasing brightness that didn't seem to fit the atmosphere.
