The City Lights

I looked out the window on the 35th floor to see the most spectacular view of specs of light. Like massive stars making up another galaxy billions of light years away from earth. I played with my eyes a little, adjusting the focus. The comparison of how this city looks like during the day compared to that of night is too immense to even compare. Even the break lights on cars stuck in traffic looked amazing. The entire city glowed beautifully, but i know i'd wake up to a view of man-made destruction - something that was invisible during the night on the 35th floor. I would wake up to a view of yellow smog, car exhaust filling the air and a grey atmosphere.
