Excerpt
People walked slowly with heads down, despair showing in every footstep. Children no longer ran or played gleefully in the streets. The brown of the buildings and the gray of the rocks dominated the city, unbroken by any hints of color. Women and men alike wore simple brown garments; they had no desire or energy to make attractive clothing or improve their appearances. They were simply miserable. Doing more than was necessary each day was a burden on bodies an minds that were already unmotivated.
