There were still some people in the park. A small group of teenagers and a couple of adults scattered here and there. The teenagers were loud, but everyone else was quiet. The joyous laughter from the daytime gone, as people meandered through the park imagining a childhood that now felt very distant to them. As the teenagers got bored and left, the area felt more desolate than before, with only the creak of the swings left to fill the silence.
