An Empty State (Direct by Seth in 2014)

The City That Never Sleeps... Now It Does
2014, New York City

The city pulsed with a chaotic energy that both terrified and exhilarated Seth. Crammed subways, screaming sirens, a skyline that scraped the clouds – this was the life he craved. Escaping the monotony of his small town, he'd embraced the relentless pace of New York. Sure, it was a grind – the sky-high rent, the constant competition, the never-ending quest for the next opportunity. But it was his dream, wasn't it?

Fast Forward...

Days blurred into weeks as Seth scavenged for food in the abandoned city. The silence, broken only by the echo of his own footsteps, was deafening. Newspapers littered the dusty streets, headlines screaming about a city gripped by a mysterious disappearance. Gone were the crowds, the noise, the relentless pursuit. Just the ghosts of a vibrant city and a chilling emptiness gnawing at his soul.

Seth wasn't just fighting to survive; he was fighting to understand. This wasn't the dream he'd signed up for. Where were the challenges, the competition, the maddening pace of New York life? Now, he craved it all – the stress, the exhaustion, the feeling of being a tiny cog in a giant machine. Anything but this oppressive silence.

Present Day

Seth clutched a worn journal, its pages filled with cryptic notes. Could this be the key to unraveling the mystery? To finding a way back to the city he both hated and loved – the city that never slept?

His dream had morphed into a desperate fight for survival, a twisted reflection of the life he once craved. Would his plan work? Would he ever hear the city roar back to life, or was he forever trapped in this silent purgatory, a testament to the dream that devoured itself?
