Message: <blockquote data-quote="sophist" data-source="post: 2166852" data-attributes="member: 15148">I am not exactly sure what exposition means in this case, but I'll go for description.(prosaic world)The "balcony" runs around the penthouse, which is set atop a not to high building facing a park. I am not really sure if balcony is the right word since the space on which you're standing is created by the fact that the penthouse is smaller than the floors below. The neigboring builings connect to this one. Looking from the park, the one to your right is one floor higher, and to the left the free roof space was converted into a wild garden, even with small trees. Your own balcony - to keep using that word for convenience - is entirely plastered, only few flower boxes are attached to the rail around it. There is some plastic furniture standing around and a bricked grill.It is indeed the middle of the night. Reading your watch and converting it to NY time it is about 2:30 a.m. But this is the city that never sleeps, so you hear some traffic from the street, and a faint howling fromn the park sounding like a madman on Angel Dust.The sky is cloudy and the stars are drowned out by the city lights.The wondows of the penthouse have no shutters, you can see the inside. It is expensive, leather sofas, marble or ebony tables, but all very modern styling. Lichtenstein prints (?) on the wall. Cartwright and the women sleep in the leftmost room, again looking from the park.</blockquote>
