Today has been an unbearably hot day. Sitting in the shade of a tree didn't stop my face from melting. But never mind that, its night time now and the cool air is welcomed. There's even a soft breeze every once in a while. No wonder the athletes of the block stay up late to play basketball or soccer/football. They play their games well into the night because playing during the day could give them a heart attack (true story!). However that doesn't make me happy because their noises keep me from sleeping at normal hours.
But I'm here, standing outside looking at the sky - blank as a blackboard slate. Its the light pollution of the city that hides the stars from my fragile eyes. No worries to the late night pedestrian though, the ground is well lit for you to walk around safely at night. I even see a mother and her infant playing on the playground just below my apartment.
The only way you could ever be scared of the dark around here is if you watched a scary movie and got stuck in the mall for the night, during a holiday weekend.
