A second home lives. But who pays the rent on forever? When the environment turned against us, we did not adapt. We engineered. We built leviathan pipes to drain the rising seas. We erected barriers of heavy light to hold back the tides. We cracked open the fabric of spacetime to feed our boundless consumption. From the chaotic shores of a near-future Lagos to the gilded decay of a drowned London, 'Virtue of Being' is a sci-fi mosaic of a future bought on credit. It is a chronicle of those who build the walls, those who scale them, and those who are crushed beneath their weight. For more stories from rln, visit: https://www.rlnstoryteller.com
