The night started off with a classical touch playing J. S. Bach’s Overture (Partita) in the French style. It was a nice opener for the night‚ acting as a foundation of musical theory and technique.

brought back so many memories. Not long before‚ Heller City had been drowned in bliss. People would spill into the city in the early hours to their place of work. The sun was glistening. A hum of city noise formed like music to my ears. The clicking of high-heeled shoes blended so tastefully with the hum of car engines‚ stuck in a whole chorus of other vehicles. The crackling of fish frying at the ’Watton Café’‚ a dog barking at Rising Park and a slight gushing breeze formed a background noise

nails and polishes—always strong—was easily overlooked as I anticipated the comfort and relief of pampering my tired feet. The bubbling and gurgling of the pedi bath was already underway as I approached the chair. Sitting down to remove my shoes‚ the hum of the tub jets lulled me to breathe a sigh of relief.

are not necessarily of sinister intent and they maintain a sort of dangerous beauty. But then Rosenberg starts to humanize the wasps by juxtaposing the building of their “insubstantial and…only home” of “paper and mud” with the savage nature of their hum.
