It was a warm, quiet peaceful, September night. Despite that, the streets were busy, as always. The life around was in full going like any other night. Lights in most of the apartments were on, the main street was busy. A lot of cars were driving around.

The city was like any other city. People were returning home from work, getting ready for nightlife, on their ways to night shifts, visiting friends or family, and young couples could be seen walking through the streets.

There was quite a big town, 20 minutes walk from the main city. They were separated from each other by one road, which had a sidewalk on both sides.

This road was once surrounded by fields, cornfields, and sunflowers. Old owners of these fields passed away and the fields were bought by companies or individuals who began building houses there. What was once an empty road was now surrounded by new houses, ready to be sold, or ones in construction, the process of being built.

The town could be mistaken for a village. Once you approached it all you could see were small houses. Once you got closer, you could notice bigger buildings. In the center of the town were a few apartments which were hiding a supermarket.

Life in this town was peaceful. Its people had everything they needed there, grocery shop, schools, kindergartens, doctors and the main city was not that far away. Although the town was kind of torn off from the rest of the country.

The only road leading to this town was the one from the main city. The rest of the town was surrounded by fields that stretched for a good few kilometers. At their ends was nothing more than dense woods.
