At the corner of a small district, only houses - surrounded by houses, stood a small black cat in the shadow of a slender figure. There was silence along the street, the figure stood still; a stain of the pink just before dusk, a thorn stuck into the thick blanket of night. It had been later in such a night, closer to dawn- the only lights out lit the street dimly, most of them concealed atop a row of trees lining the roads. A stillness grasps hold of the figure a moment, yet there was movement. To whomever was disguised, that much was clear. It was the entire meaning of where they were, and how. Eyes move, as they slide across - a reflection, flickers for an instant. There were no eyes naked, several parabolic surfaces to dress them, causing slices of light to dance about as fire would near a mirror. A subtle tilt, reshaped the slivers of true night at her side, so both sky and night had began to lean inward. This figure had seen the night do this once, though not to mirror the movement. Few instances before had the night stood in the sillouette cast by the sky. For the sky was simply a person, just as the night was the little black cat standing in that shade. "The sky, just before dusk."
