Ok this is my first attempt at a story so I am going to start off with a short preface. It's just a poem I wrote but it fits in with the story so here you go.
Preface
A big city, buzzing cars,
Honking buses hurtling by in whirlwind of everyday life,
Briefcases and high heeled shoes with matching suits running along and mixing in the streets,
And I was just watching,
An observer from beside a trashcan,
The life of adults, the life of ants,
Only a shadow against the wall, a ghost,
Without interest, without understanding,
Like a broken useless parking meter, empty.
Black clouds of fumes thrown into the air,
Engulfing the street,
A woman choking, a baby crying,
Thief's waiting in the alleyways,
Everyone staring blankly ahead,
Dreaming of the sun,
Hoping, wishing.
A flash of lightning,
A growl of thunder and the rain pelts down,
A sea of black umbrellas,
The dull grey suits,
The dirty white skyscrapers,
Adults shouting, children screaming.
This is the world of black and white.
