Blinking Hour

Blinking Hour refers to the late-night stretch when traffic lights switch into their blinking cycle, red and yellow pulsing through empty intersections. It’s more than a technical mode; it marks the quiet span of night when most of the world has gone still, streets empty, conversations softened, and the city seems to breathe in slow motion.

I was outside during the Blinking Hour and it felt like I was the only person in the world.
