Kapitel 649: How Michael became Ghost I

(Almost twenty years ago on earth)

The browning street was emptier than usual due to all the riots in the nearby city.  Buildings on the weather side of the browning street looked worn out, as though they would collapse any second. It had been a couple of decades since a building got new paint. The paved stone streets were all broken and messed up. As a result, the streets had more puddles than gray stones. Due to the high crime rate in this part of the city, the street was void of any taxis or crowds. Except for a couple of junkies in the dark alley, there was no one. Despite the afternoon time, the browning street looked gloomy because of the dark storm clouds above.
