SONG: Black and Gold
Eyes closed, a deep breath, a gush of wind, a ruffle of hair, and a smile. With cars, humans and all things mundane below and heavens above. Stars were within reach. Her eyes open again to observe the momentary darkness. Her arms unlocked themselves and rested on the concrete wall. She looked down. Down, down down, cars in the street going about, humans, larger than life but smaller in the mind's eye, walking up and down. One more smile and satisfaction of confidence. Flap of a coat, tipping of heels. She turned around and went to the door. No need to turn back and look at the rooftop, she had the cat in the bag in the world below. Down one flight of stairs and she opened yet another door, but this one into the realm of the mundane. Yellow light in red carpeted halls, apparently Julias was standing next to the door waiting.
"Where were you?"
"Up on the roof"
"We have his signature"
"Excellent!" A full smile. She can fire Julias now. She walked on one foot in front of the other, not even the carpets could silence her cold confidence, with unsuspecting Julias behind her.

Actually I don't really like this paragraph. It's full of things we normally don't feel. " humans, larger than life but smaller in the mind's eye". Doesn't really work for me. Another song.
