The Last Orchard

In a dystopian world where the sky was grey and buildings crumbled, a brave girl named Mia said, "I won’t give up! I will find food today!" Her stomach growled, echoing her determination. Mia, with her wild, tangled hair and worn-out clothes, stepped out into the chaotic streets. People scurried past her, their faces drawn with hunger. "Stay close, Mia!" shouted her brother, Leo, clutching a small wooden knife for safety as they navigated the ruined city.

As they ventured deeper, they stumbled upon a secret garden hidden behind old metal gates. "Look! An orchard!" Mia gasped, eyes sparkling with hope as they approached the vibrant trees bursting with juicy apples. Leo grinned, "We did it, Mia! We found food!" But suddenly, a voice boomed from behind them, and a tall figure emerged from the shadows. "Hey! Those are MY apples!" he shouted, glaring fiercely. Mia took a step back, but her heart raced with bravery. "We didn’t mean to take anything! We just... we’re hungry!" she replied, standing tall. A moment of tension hung in the air as they all stared at each other in silence, wondering what would happen next.
