It is a scene unusual -pitch black Arts Tower, where some lights are always left on over night. On the 8th of November, a fire in the basement of the power station cut the electricity of every building near it.

It's nothing big deal. Things happened, sometimes in a mysterious way. However, there is one big thing went wrong -the emergency lights remained blank when the power was cut. Despite giving me some privilege to enjoy the fantastic view, which I stunned every winter night, the excitement faded away when I had to climbed down 20 floors before reaching the ground. During the journey, the stair case remained pitch black...

The Arts Tower, a grade II* heritage of Sheffield, is a perfect replica from any of the Modernist high-rise building textbooks. It was fancy and MODERN at the time, but 46 years passed, It is now old, crippled and hunchbacked. Numerous repair and alteration works going on and on just enough to keep it shape. In a near future, everyone who works in the tower will have move to another building so it can finally be pushed into the surgery.

The pitch black Arts Tower, and the fact that the main library -another modernist building by the Arts Tower gives its title up to a newly built library, make me realise that the prehistoric age of these huge, slow, always hungry and sometimes quite stupid monsters, which were once embraced as the machine of inhabit, has truly long gone.
