72 The weak [3]

An awkward silence enveloped the rooftop. Apart from the occasional chirps from the birds flying in the sky, no other sound resounded across the space.

Arriving on the edge of the rooftop, standing next to me, Kevin placed his hands on the handrails and looked at Hollberg in the distance.

Aside from the occasional ambulance squeals coming from below, the city of Hollberg looked calm and peaceful.

As Kevin and I watched the city in silence, a strange yet relaxing atmosphere enveloped us. It was as if all of our worries were gone for a split second.

For a short period of time, neither of us spoke. We just calmly watched the city below us.

"It's peaceful isn't it?"

After a short pause, breaking the silence, whilst looking at the city below him, Kevin opened his mouth.

"It sure is..."

Nodding my head whilst keeping my eyes on the city below, I responded.
