the floor and, sure enough, there is the plug – not for much

time had passed hits: Normally she'd be at home already. She starts

walking towards the metro station at the corner. The buildings here are
|
||||
similar to the ones in other parts of the city - three to four story
|
||||
houses painted in different colors - but they are lacking balconies and,
|
||||
instead of being homes, they mostly house offices. On the other side of
|
||||
the street is an embankment that holds the rails for the metro and beyond
|
||||
that is the outer wall of the dome. The street lights illuminating the
|
||||
area had already switched to the lower brightness for the night giving
|
||||
the area an eerie look. Only a couple times had she seen it like this
|
||||
while staying late for company events.
