a penthouse - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

The window is so large it reminds me of a store-front, but so high up who can see in anyway? It's triple-glazed and so clear that the panorama is like a high definition screen at the movie theatre. The birds travel past, buffeted by the winds that whistle through these towers, as if to remind us that we're in their space now. This real-estate in the sky feels so futuristic, I wouldn't be surprised if Terri just beamed herself in here right from the office. The city below is so far away it's like another world, those ant-like people and all their problems are of no more consequence than temporary static on intercom. All this concrete is my cocoon and the window, well, the window shows me as much detail as I want to know.
