Harvey 0.02: Chapter 35

Harvey 0.02: Chapter 35:
"The mid-Atlantic vista stretched endlessly towards the horizon, the plane banking slowly to the left as it made its approach to El City. Tallow watched out his window as the ocean view began to include a few drifting sailboats and cargo ships. Soon, the city drifted into the window’s frame, a slowly evolving masterpiece of engineering and architecture that had more in common with an orbital station than a terrestrial urban landscape. The original section of the city sat in the center of many concentric layers, all of which surrounded the black cable which rose upwards and disappeared visually in a far off vanishing point. Somewhere far above, on the far side of geosynchronous orbit, the cable connected to Skyland Station, El City’s suburban sister. Tallow had hoped to see one of the elevator’s which traveled between the two cities, but the visible length of cable was empty as the plane turned to make its final approach to the city."
