Velvetine Sands

A once-thriving religious school now lies in disrepair, its windows boarded up and its walls adorned with faded Qur’anic calligraphy. Despite its closure, the building still attracts a small group of elders and boys who gather under the guise of recitation, but their true purpose is far more clandestine, involving secretive ideological training in the basement.

The exterior is marked by peeling paint and overgrown weeds, while the interior is dimly lit, with dusty carpets and remnants of educational materials scattered about. The basement is hidden behind a false wall, revealing a stark contrast of modern technology and old-world charm, where whispers of forbidden knowledge echo.
