Yesterday it rained like hell. You just had to peek outside a window to see London as it is imagined by many: facade statues crying rain, gray skies that reflect on the wet, black asphalt while hundreds of umbrellas entangle in each other as people furiously run for cover.

I closed the window and sat back in my desk: the skies were colourful compared to the silent mood in the office. I wore my headphones and played the Pumpkins...an acoustic number called "Sparrow". Suddenly I felt embraced; suddenly I felt human again.
