Iron Arteries
Iron pipes curve beneath the red clay, their cold surfaces tasting of grit and ancient oxidation. These hidden conduits dictate every subterranean path, forcing water through narrow channels with rhythmic pulses that mirror a preordained geometry. Where sunlight slants across the ledger of the soil, dust motes dance above a landscape shaped by these rigid, invisible lines. Every sprout follows an ancestral blueprint carved long ago into the dark earth, leaving little room for anything but the quiet unfolding of a plan already set in motion.
