Description
A massive, rectangular stone structure with a vertical tower stands in a desolate, grassy field. The building appears abandoned, with no visible windows or doors intact. Scattered around the field are remnants of old vehicles and machinery, including a rusted tractor and a partially disassembled car. The sky is overcast, and the atmosphere is quiet and bleak, with power lines extending into the distance.
