Summit of the Night Horizon

I shoved my way past the heavy push-bar door and burst into the boundless open expanse of the rooftop. Freezing night winds whipped against my snout, but I did not falter. Ahead, the low gravel-lined concrete perimeter wall loomed as the ultimate precipice. I sprinted across the coarse tar roof, claws kicking loose stone chips behind me, and leaped straight onto the weathered ledge. Below, the entire city sprawled into an ocean of blazing streetlights and shimmering neon veins. Bracing my hind claws against the cracked concrete, I unfurled both wings against the roaring updraft and unleashed a deep, booming roar into the midnight abyss.
