The Last Balcony
The Last Balcony By [Ghani] London, 1944. The city held its breath again. You could feel it in the air — thick, damp, electric. The streets were dimmed for blackout, but even without the lights, London pulsed with tension. Somewhere in the fog, searchlights combed the sky with long silver fingers.
