Sixty Four Squares

City of lights

All around nothing but creeping darknesses and the stillness of a summers night. A fresh but whispering wind gusts over the rocky terrain like the snakes and lizards that reside in the cracks and crevices of the rocks.
Amongst the stillness of light down a single rickety road shined a bright bashful light glistening god like beams projected into the sky, if you would take a walk down that old rickety road you'd first fall to the sound of machines and factories puffing there toxins into the the dying sky , polluted by thick catastrophic clouds of smog produced by the the roaring machinery, as you approach even more you'd here the racket of music clubs and bars, music of all kinds filling your ears and entering your brain some becoming a soft melody and others being to loud to handle.And as you edged towards the light you'd see. tall buildings ,roaring factories people from all walks of life enjoying there life working the jobs they want every street is bustling with people of all shapes and size every building lined with neon light of every colour, the city of lights.
Some would say it's a haven others would say a haven for crime.
But even in the city of lights a brighter light burns but it is not a light of fun,peace or equality it's a fire, a roaring fire that burns black flames like shadows dancing in the sky but nobody in this city can see they are all to comfortable with the light but tonight they will see the darkness that awaits even in the brightest of lights for not even stars burn forever.
