Lights flickered off in the distance'neath the starry sky and the moon which bore silver light down uponthe thick murk of darkness that seemed to shroud the city. It wasthick and like a living shadow, hiding all the rats and disease thatwas polluting the canvas in which Fisk would build the world anew.
