Elliot loved the night time! He always felt the most alive in the depths of darkness. His creative mind always worked harder when he was looking out into the black. Whiffs of smoke up into the darkness, headlights changing the features of the scape, the hum of the city, the pungent smells, and the people. The people and the darkness were always more on the edge the deeper you went. But the pendulum would always swing back to the dawn.
The dawn brought even more. That's when the city started crashing into itself. People going to work, ants gathering food, getting breakfast, take out the trash, spiders building a web, drink coffee, run, yell...... To him, this all lead back to the night. "We all started there". Imagination is powerful.
He often would sit in the middle of the city, looking at the 5 stars he could see. Thinking of his family trips deep into the mountains, he missed the billions of stars he watched in the Milky Way. Delphinios was his favorite constellation. The moon would take hours of watching. And the rest of the world would just be sitting there beyond sight, never knowing...
There was always so much wonder in that darkness, and you never know what will come out on the other side. But something will be waiting...
