The clock tower, the electrical station, the library, the rocket-all are silhouetted against the day’s final minutes. From where I stand, the last pale orange rays stretch across the sky, scrabbling for purchase between a few thinning trees. It dips towards the ocean, which stretches boundless in every direction.
