Summary/Abstract: It was walking alone in the middle of the steppe as the first rays of the day formed orange lines on the horizon. The once vast plain was now covered with metal heaps of human debris thrown around recklessly. Artificiality had obviously brought death. It cut off the unruly wind like a barrier and polluted the fertile spirit of the soil. So much so that the air no longer felt as clean and peaceful as it used to, and the sky no longer gave freedom.
