Human: Generate for me a description of a depressing scene outside town ruins with charred wooden boards, a wrought iron lantern, and books. Assistant: 
Charred wooden boards lean against each other at odd angles, supporting the ashen remains of scrolls and books. Nothing remains now save a few scraps of leather binding or metal scrollcaps, twisted and deformed by heat. A wrought iron lantern sways at the end of a fallen pole in the midst of the wreckage.
