Beneath the city lights
Beneath the streets of New York, the city hums with unseen life.
Aidan Wolfe works the hours most people forget, repairing the subway lines that carry millions above his head. Once a firefighter, now a man who keeps his head down, Aidan measures his days in the steady rhythm of trains and the hiss of machinery.
He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t need to. The tunnels don’t ask questions.
But the city does — in small ways. In every echo, in every light that flickers back to life, in every stranger who reminds him that silence can only last so long.
Beneath the City Lights is a story about endurance, the dignity of work, and the quiet humanity found in forgotten places. It’s not about escape. It’s about learning how to stay.
