Dusk falls upon the town and its inhabitants, a blanket of darkness that seems to drape itself over everything in sight, consuming buildings in its wake. The government says the curfew is working on every single TV slot, every newspaper, every radio interview. It's effective and that's why we'll keep on doing it, people in suits say as they read out from their preprepared notes, dodging every pointed question before slipping back into their cabal of cars headed back towards the safety of city hall. But everyone knows that's a bold-faced lie, intended to soothe the nerves of a populace that desperately needs it. |
