Poul is Leaving but There is One Problem

As the night descended on the Company town of Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company, the sound of machinery continued to hum and whir, as the workers labored tirelessly in the factory buildings.

The orange glow of light bulbs illuminated the streets and buildings, casting a warm and inviting hue over the town. The factory buildings were the largest structures in the town, their tall smokestacks reaching up into the night sky. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and the sound of machinery, punctuated by the occasional whistle or shout from the workers.

As the night wore on, the windows of the apartments and houses glowed brighter, indicating that the some of the workers were finally returning home after a long day's work.
