Early hours of the morning

In night’s dark hours an underworld spreads its tentacles, transforming mischief into mayhem, and minor disputes into major confrontations, as bad deeds become evil.

Prisoners break out, drunks break in, judges play away, rats from the sewers cavort. Rules are broken under the noses of the guards who don’t see what is happening through the windows and behind the doors.

From skyline to gutter, the filth and the scum stealthily starts to throb with life as dawn breaks.
