A City of Broken Dreams (New York by Night)

= Introduction = ''People have invested their hopes and dreams into this city for thousands of years. It is a place of power, that inspires the belief that anything is possible. Those who are born here, grow with their eyes looking upward toward a dream, a hope or some perceived destiny. Those who arrive here see it as a place of change, and they invest themselves in trying to build a life in the shadows of the vast megalopolis. It is unfortunate, that New York is a city of broken dreams. Every dream realized feeds on the rotting remains of someone else's hope. Those lucky few find that their dream lost something in translation to reality, and that victory often does not outweigh the cost of achieving victory''.
