Frozen Signal Statues
A drowned city crouches under a thunder sky, marble colossi rising from frothing water as waves batter fallen porticos. A domed temple smolders on the horizon, its rotunda glowing orange beneath sheets of lightning that bruise the clouds. Above the ruin, WHERE VOJTA? hangs like a planned sign, a pale, vibrating question that holds searchers' breaths.
Salt and ash cling to the statues' draped shoulders; one stone arm reaches as if to pull someone from the surf, the posture taut and proprioceptive in the stillness. Rumors turned the sky lettering into a rendezvous: maps folded into pockets, whispering parties converging here and then dissolving back into the wreckage, but Vojta remains unfound. Time feels suspended between each flash and the lulls of the tide, and every scampering ember and echo of thunder becomes a clue and a denial at once.
