Scurrying fingers and corners curling on the edges of the forms, the door swings open into the room for the first time in God knows how long, stirring dust and moving gazes... what is out there? Still, no one moves... I am not one of those minds, but I know the smell of the air... it is suspended rain, and the turbulent Atlantic...
