Tainan School Corridor Trophy Case Sunset Glow

Cool season light falls through high windows, casting long amber pools across the linoleum floor of a Tainan school corridor. A glass trophy case stands against the wall, its surface mirroring the overhead fluorescent tubes as stark white streaks. Behind the case, the dark interior of a computer lab waits in silence, rows of monitors reflecting the fading daylight. The glass doors of the case hold brass plaques and small ceramic awards, their metallic edges catching the warm sunset hues. Dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of light that fall across the baseboards. The reflection of the windows stretches long and thin across the polished floor, ending abruptly at the shadow of a nearby chair leg.
