A Light Goes Out

As the shining light of the torch of liberty sunk into the depths of the harbour, crowds of people watched from a distance, some cheering, others left in silence. Some watched from the comforts of their homes, garnering a similar response. All the while a boat rocked in the harbour alone, more people onboard watching the historical event unfold.

The smile placed on one particular passenger was not mirrored by his counterpart. Two men, side by side, looked on in a way that simply can not be described with mere words. The particular passenger leaned against the railining of the boat, taking in everything he saw.

His dreams were no longer fantasies drawn up in his head or words written down on paper,

"Finally. A light goes out."

An alternate history fic heavily inspired/based on the book and tv show "The Man in the High Castle" (You may see a lot of parallels to the tv show more so than the book) The telling of a 'what if' scenario, ran through the perspective of America, Alfred F. Jones.
