Dark Wings over the City
The night in Warsaw was particularly chilly. Maks sat by the light in the attic of an apartment building, hiding his fatigue behind a pile of sketchbooks. His third year of graphic design studies didn't leave much time for daydreaming, but that night Maks couldn't concentrate.
