This is a six sentence story using the word prompt: Shelter. It’s fun to write to Denise’s weekly prompt. If you are interested in participating, link is: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/87522/posts/3780967561
Tourists from all over the world come to this place to sightsee the old ruin and the ancient city as well as experience one of the richest cultures. The modern city is built on the wealth generated from the tourism and hospitality industries. This place never sleeps and is filled with alluring activities all year round.
He climbs over the old city gate with his makeshift sleeping bag and settles in a hole of his choice for the night in the old city wall. It doesn’t take long for him to drift off, feeling cosy in his shelter, with the celebratory music vibrating from the modern city through to the old city walls. He lives in the gap of the ancient ghosts and the modern slaves.
A stunning finale Cassa…
“He lives in the gap of the ancient ghosts and the modern slaves.”

Very effective scene building in the first part, C. An excellent set up for the second part showing the stark contrast of the city viewed from 2 very different perspectives.
