Death's Kingdom

Between fields of war and murder on one side and a great and featureless expanse on the other, there exists a town. The black land is dead, raked by gunfire, ploughed through by an endless convoy of military vehicles. Dogs skulk the town's edges. Worse monsters live out in the fields. Amidst the eternal conveyance, there are a few who persist. The drunk, with the emptiness in his soul. The boy, who is surrendered to his addiction. The child, who sees prophecies behind its eyes of the end of humanity.

Each of them, in this place, victims of the pitiless circumstances of their lives.
