Writing My Own Scene from Persepholis (using the image from p. 136)

time of day:  dusk, night is shortly coming
setting:          city street, deserted and desolate.    The riots have finally ended.
mood:           depressed, oppressed
character:     a middle aged woman, who lost her only son in the riot.
what's happening (plot):  the city is falling apart as the civil war escalates.

What can she do?  In the last six months she has lost everything.  Her husband arrested.   Her relatives fled. And now her son.  Her only son.  Gone.  Bludgened to death by the military police.  She is alone now.  Alone and unprotected.   No one will hear her tears as they fall on her pillow tonight.
