The city smells like burnt toast at 5am
I was on the ridge last night, checking a cornice that didnāt want to be checked, and when I came down, the air had that exact smellālike someone left bread in the toaster too long, but also like wet concrete and diesel. Itās not just the cold; itās the way the city exhales after midnight. I stood under a streetlamp for three minutes just breathing it in. Feels like the world is still asleep, but already thinking about breakfast.
