"Life is killing me."

This is the flip side of the American Dream. A city that never sleeps, but on streets like these, it exists in a feverish stupor. A derelict neighborhood where the facades of once-decent buildings are laced with graffiti and cracks, and the stench of decay seeps from overflowing dumpsters. The distant, ceaseless roar of the freeway is a constant—a low, angry hum—and the few pedestrians keep their eyes down, hurrying past.

This is the only world William Grey has ever truly known.

Place of action: A small apartment in an old three-story building. This isn't a home; it's a trap, the physical manifestation of **William's** inner world. Perpetual dust, chaos born of his deep apathy, dirty windows that filter the city's sickly neon glow at night. The fridge is nearly empty because he can't muster the will to shop; the ashtrays are overflowing from the countless cigarettes he smokes to quiet the noise in his head. It's a space where time has congealed, and the air is thick with **William's** despair and the smell of his stale tobacco.

(This is where you live. (I tortured the AI for a long time, but never got what I imagined. I'm not happy with the result, but I have no idea how to fix it.))
