Momentum Plaza #1

There is a strange building in College Station. It feels incredibly upscale, yet I rarely see much activity inside. It almost seems abandoned, yet always well-maintained. I may never know what it is truly used for, but it stands out every time I pass by.

I am drawn to both its elegance and its gothic quality. Occasionally, my partner and I will drive there to play catch in the perfectly manicured field beside it. Sometimes circles of buzzards gather above it, and all that would be missing is a lightning strike to complete the mood. One day I will paint its darker likeness, because to me the building has two sides: the elegant perfection and the Gothic mysteriousness.
