Scene from Seasons in the Kingdom...
By
the time the three began their ascent of Cherry Hill ,
slivers of light were shooting into the alleyway from shaded and barred
windows. The light blurred as Mike hurried through the silent passageway after
Cook and Lucas. Each house had its own rustic fortifications, only the small
barred windows and locked gates indicated human habitation. On top of the walls
that separated the courtyards from the alley were broken pieces of glass stuck
into cement. Some of the houses had barbed wire strung along the top. The three
continued through the meager castellation concealing a low life and forgotten
dreams of sentimental folly.
