/lit/ can you help me remember the name of this story? I can't remember if it's a short story or an excerpt from something longer, but it's basically about a tribal kid being sent on a coming-of-age ritual where he has to go spend a day and night in the "Land of the Ghosts" or some shit and to the reader it's obviously the ruins of a major modern city destroyed by war, but to the kid it's the wonders of the ancient times.
Also, could you recommend more stories like that, post-apocalyptic, but the characters are of a new age looking back on us as the "Golden Age"

Hmm, I don't think so. I don't remember the boy being given a name. And he was alone in the ruins, he met no one.
The one line I specifically remember is he comes across a sink and he wonders at the knob labelled "HOT," but it was not hot and a knob labelled "COLD" but it was not cold.

>In the washing-place, a thing said "Hot" but it was not hot to the touch—another thing said "Cold" but it was not cold. This must have been a strong magic but the magic was gone. I do not understand—they had ways—I wish that I knew.

kinda sorta The Girl who Owned a City, it's immediately post-apocalypse rather than far-post-apoc, but it hits a lot of the beats you would expect
