The time is 19:46,
sallow light, sun is setting down, I am heading to my building rooftop. Gazing at the city's urban topography, rooftops ignoring the sky, all deserted, except for improvisation by a local inhabitant that wants to eScape. I am surrounded by buildings, just 4m-6m away from me. Every amateur jumper could hop over to the next-door neighbor. I feel I can do it. I must! It's like going to the beach without dipping in. Nothing physical prevents me from doing it but something blocks my thoughts and desires… I had enough! I am jumping! All of a sudden, out of nowhere a rolling tongue stretched towards and grabbing me, than easily laying me down on soft grassy surface. A girl swinging on a seesaw. I am stunned. "The neighborhood's party is two roof-tops away from here" she said. Escalator takes me downward between the treetops. People are jumping and singing, skating, some are just seating down watching the stars. |
