the watchman

The night was silent except for the occasional rustling of leaves. The days were not longer anymore; nights had become unbearably cold, and his age was no longer by his side. Grey hair, broken spectacles, torn blanket wrapped around him, a walking stick, and with a kerosene lantern flickering in the winter breeze; the watchman sat on the steps in front of the lake staring at the horizon in anticipation of sunrise.
