Building Without Waves - a photo on Flickriver

Building Without Waves

            Under a cyan sky veiled with a light mist, a solitary building rises in the silent night. Its clean, angular lines gently cut through the surrounding darkness. No intrusive light disturbs its silhouette; only a few windows allow faint glimmers to escape, like discreet watchers in the shadows.

Constructed with dark, matte materials, it almost absorbs light, becoming a monolith of shadows. The solar panels, though useless at this late hour, form a smooth and pristine roof, free of the usual antennas. This place seems disconnected from the hum of technology. Here, no waves circulate, no signals cross the air. It is a refuge from the invisible buzz of our modern world.

The atmosphere around it feels dense, almost tangible. The city’s noise seems to fade away at its threshold, as if absorbed by an unseen barrier. A pale halo surrounds the building, reflected by the moon, accentuating its mystical aura. Rare passersby at this late hour whisper legends. Some say the building was designed to guard forgotten secrets, others claim it is a sanctuary for pure thoughts, undisturbed by modern chaos.

At its base, damp cobblestones shimmer under the faint glow of old lampposts. A solitary bench and an unlit fountain complete the scene, frozen as silent witnesses to an untold story.

The building without waves rests there, mysterious, disconnected from the clamor of the world. Its existence seems like a silent statement, a reminder that it is still possible, somewhere, to escape the invisible noise of human connections.
