Secrets of the Blue House (2)
July 1st, 2010 Posted 5:27 am
City. Nick laughed at the thought. There was nothing about this town that reminded him of a city. A city had magnificent geometric buildings whose entrances were masked by walls of a writhing mass of hurrying people. A city was bathed in the sounds of car horns, chatter, car motors, the smell of car exhaust and stale air. A city had no light, just the blue-gray shadows of the buildings looming over the people that made the giant machine of the city run, day in and day out. A city had no night and day, just constant motion and a disregard for time, except to switch from work to play.
This town had night and day, sunlight, fresh air, and space. The street was practically deserted and except for the people seen from the large shop windows of the diner and bar, the place looked like a ghost town. The people were molded by work and weariness and the only bit of sophistication were the tacky striped awnings over the windows.
Author’s comments on post 390: I think I like this part of the story best. I know it’s just boring description, but there is a cetain part of poetry in it that tickles my fancy. More at a later date.
