The City by Night

Info

The insatiable human desire to stop working and just relax is partially fulfilled by a night out with friends in the evening. People work all day like zombies on their drudgery and aspire for the night to fall.  The cold long night starts as soon as the sun sets, but the ever luminous cities barely allow it's citizens to notice the change of day and night because of the bright neon lights on sign boards and advertisements. At night the city is invaded by a different type of crowd.  The city is truly full of life,  brought by the colours and lights in the street shops and street shows on the walk way. Street food of all varieties from Indian to Chinese to American, bring life to your epicurean tongues.

Now this was all the bright side of the night. The other side is dangerous and vulnerable. As the night falls, many have their eyes on sticks! They can be seeking thieves, hooting owls or hungry, ghosts and vampires in search of sweet and  juicy blood as tasty as yours!! At night it is almost impossible to avert. The dark and silent night covers all callous works of the people.

It is not sure tht you may find a torso,  but if you do then hold your breath and run away from there as quick as possible,  who knows you may become one too!

My kind of story. Two sides of the coin. Choosing bravery to venture what is known as dark may lead you in the discovery of something wonderful, but do not leave caution behind because who knows what things happen in what cannot be seen. I love how you view it with such an open mind ?

I'm not sure if you're really describing the city at night or are you simply warning people. :D Anyway, great job on this one. You made me feel unsafe at night. haha ♥

Oh thank you!!!! It's just a random city... Not mine... Well even if it is... I'm not aware of the darkness of the night, for I rarely go out alone in the evening. ??? Thank you for the lovely words!!!!!
