Gloom and Doom


"They never look up, do they?" petite woman's musings cut the silence of the rooftops. Her blonde hair was in stark contrast with their surroundings.

She continued with her observations as she joined him on the ledge, "They are too lost in their own little worlds. Living their insignificant lives; trying to survive one day at a time, cursed to remain forever blind to the big picture."

She tilted her head, considering the other side's way of life.

"I kind of miss the days when I was like them. It was so simple back then," a soft sigh escaped her as she recalled days when she had been free of the heavy weight of duty. "Do you miss it, Bruce?" she turned her head to look at the man by her side.

She was left without an answer as the dark figure continued to gaze over the decadent city that was Gotham.

"Not in a talkative mood then, huh?" another silence took over the one-sided conversation.

In the end it was broken when the woman got frustrated with her companion and rolled her eyes.

"Give me a call when you're off the gloom and doom mode, will ya?" with that she left the motionless man standing alone there, on the edge of the roof.
