Signal Waiting for an Answer

A solitary communications tower rises into a bruised dusk sky, rigid and precise against a soft, dissolving gradient of pink and blue. Its antennas and circular receivers reach outward with intent, built to carry voices, data, and presence across distance and absence. Birds drift around it like static noise, small interruptions in an otherwise disciplined vertical order. The structure exists for one purpose: to connect what cannot see each other, to insist on communication even in vast silence. Standing tall yet exposed, it becomes a quiet monument to human persistence, engineered not for beauty, but for the stubborn belief that something, somewhere, is listening.
