The Last One To Leave Turns Off The Lights

The wistfulness of a lopsided tower block. The view of the inside is barred. Only the lit windows indicate the presence of humans. The scales of the buildings’ faces change, as if they were attempting to attract attention; or as if they wished to retreat into being a simple wall, thus permitting a view not normally possible in reality. Loneliness in the city. Doors locked from the outside, fire escapes dead-ending. But The Last One To Leave Turns Off The Lights.
