They allowed nature to smother the walls of the buildings to make them look abandoned.
Anything to stop anyone from seeing them and coming for them.
Trees grew into rooms, ivy carpeted the floor and nature moved in with humans.
From above the entire city was little more than slightly oddly shaped patches of forest.
As long as they kept the greenery sustained and kept themselves quiet, all would be safe.
Technology withered like a daisy in a dark cupboard as all effort was put into hiding away.
They couldn't get into the forest you see, they needed sunlight more than the trees that hid it.
Even mere minutes without light caused them great pains, so much so that they remained in orbit.
Until they found ways to lure humans out into the open, well-lit areas.
The forest bordered a sea of ash that had once been people foolish enough to wander into the light.
Nobody had kept a record of who lived and who died, no way of communicating across the world.
And so the world shrunk to forests and the green-thumbs that hid away inside them.
It seemed that animals were safe at least, they had flourished at first until the ash clogged their lungs.
Now even they hid away with humans in the forests trying to survive.
All the while they waited for the things in the sky to grow bored enough to leave for good.
