Refining (12)
Height is power. Being able to look down on someone unilaterally creates an overwhelming difference.
I held up a small remote control and illuminated the rooftop of a building. The light emitting from the remote control touched the window, and a brilliant light burst forth from the window.
The light spread out like divine radiance. Although it was a dark night, just by focusing my eyes a little, I could see what was happening below.
The view from here was more stimulating than any video I had seen, and it was as addictive as it was sad, impossible to look away from.
There was a living person down there. But just watching from here was a meaningless act.
After taking a deep sigh, I turned my head back and read through the pile of work on my tablet.
