This is something I had to write for, let's say, an "advanced" class, of some sorts. Each student was to construct a six paragraph story or description of some sort revolving around a single sentence. This exercise was to help us develop our "show, don't tell" writing skills. We got to pick from a limited list of sentences, and I chose "The city is beautiful", hence the title of this piece. I decided to post it on here just to see what people would think of it. If you like it, or would like to make suggestions, please comment, or message me. Enjoy! (I got both of the pictures I used from Google Images. They are not mine, so I do not take credit for them in any way, shape, or form.)

Enjoy the first draft of the story so far... This story tackles perspective on life from two different people who might not be very different after all. I don't really want to spoil much of it and I don't really have a cover for it , so if you fuck with the title for some reason and want to kill some time read this. keep in mind I am not perfect there will be A LOT OF DICTATION and GRAMMAR MISTAKES! I hope I was able to make you feel something even if that feeling was cringe. Forgot to say some stuff... This story takes place in a fictional future. And I was heavily inspired by bladerunner , Detroit become human, The wolf among us and probably a bunch of other stuff. Btw if you took the time to read this, DESTROY ME even if you liked it. I'm totally open to criticism and any kind of feedback would be appreciated. I can only improve, right? You might see a lot of "Sargent" instead of "sergeant" so... I blame my autocorrect for this one but eventually I'll realize my mistake.
