A city rendered in blue and grey, its towers blurring upward into low settled fog. The yellow lamps are still burning. The streets are wet and empty.
This is a city that was built for a population that is no longer coming. The infrastructure of connection remains standing long after the need for it has quietly left.
The lights don't know anyone is gone. They stay on anyway.
