The morning commute to work
The morning air in Steel Harbor is crisp and biting, signaling the transition into early autumn. You are navigating an unofficial shortcut—a worn, urban dirt path that locals and bicycle couriers use to bypass the gridlock of the main streets. As you walk, your boots crunch rhythmically over a mixture of loose gravel, dirt, and patches of broken, uneven concrete tiles.
To your left, the city’s industrial roar is constant, but here on the path, it is punctuated by the sudden, sharp songs of birds nesting in the overgrown trees that line the shortcut. The peacefulness is occasionally interrupted by the deep, booming drone of a corporate zeppelin drifting slowly overhead, its loudspeaker crackling as it broadcasts a looping promotional message enticing citizens to invest in the latest off-world colony. It is a strange, refreshing start to the workday—where the smell of damp earth and rustling leaves meets the distant, sterile promises of the corporate future.
