The structure itself crouched in the center of a clearing — a lattice of rusted iron and warped glass that had once been a greenhouse. Now it was a prison for things that didn't belong in cages: beetles the size of palms, a handful of moths whose wings shimmered with iridescence, a cricket choir that sang from behind a concrete wall. This is where the remake had begun — a salvage project turned preservation effort — and where I was to log the save.
