the youth center is a mesmerizing spectacle, with towering skyscrapers dotting its edges. Thousands of people, some of them from ages 1 to 5,but most from the ages of 14 to 21, are gathered around the center, some from past events, others from past entangled on the shelves, some from agonys, others from children, and some from the days of church. The sun is setting, casting an orange glow on the scene.
