Unlived life

He was on the terrace of the office building. He could sense the heavy breeze strong enough to trip him over the terrace. The weather was dull and gloomy, as if indicating a very bad omen. His misty eyes were masked by the slow drizzle in the air. The winds made a hazy sound as if singing a farewell song.
