In the present


I was taking a walk this evening in the walking area of the complex where I live.  Cool, breezy air was sweeping my face and hair, evening was just setting in, children were playing around making happy sounds, young mothers were gathering around to chit-chat with each other. The sky wore a pensive look, as though it was finishing the last bit of chore before going off to sleep.  The trees looked sombre in unison against the grey backdrop of the sky.
