•Nexus City, 5th Ward•
Ana
Ana always felt uncomfortable walking the streets of the 5th Ward, even more so now. People on the streets held up cardboard boxes with the writing, "Save the 5th Ward!", "Send help!", and "We want justice."
The streets of the 5th Ward were a stark reflection of the beauty and glory of the 1st Ward. Once bustling with life and energy, the streets now lay in ruins, bearing the scars of a society that had collapsed under the weight of its own ambitions and excesses. As I walked through the desolate thoroughfares, the sense of despair and decay hung heavy in the air.
