A lone bell in the night

It's a misty, foggy cool San Francisco night. A light rain is falling. The city lights are reflecting a dull grey glow up onto the overcast sky. The streets are empty; the city is deserted.

Somewhere off in the hills, a lone church bell is ringing. It's 9:30 at night. I go up to the roof to soak it all in.

The bell punctuates the night, ringing out for the dead, the dying, and those who help them. The bell also carries a message of hope, linking all it reaches.

1. That sounds like a scene from a film noir...

...combined with an SF disaster film. Lovely and atmospheric. But that's the world we're actually living in...let's hope the film has a happy ending...

2. It will for most of us, if we follow the rules; but many won't make it.

3. That's beautifully written, Bachers.

So vividly descriptive of what of what you're seeing and feeling.

And, inspiring.. Mahalo.

4. Do not ask for whom the bell tolls

It tolls for thee

5. It tolls for us all..

It tolls for mankind across the world..

6. "linking all it reaches" - beautifully said.
