Up top, the wind comes through the broken pane of the roof access door with a sound like paper being folded. You set the tripod on the gravel by the water tank, level the bubble, and sight down the first line: from the corner of the old crane base, through the lift motor housing, to the tip of the aerial on Crossways House. Three triangles of distance, a diamond where the lines cross. Everything lines up as neatly as a drawing someone has taken care over.

Then the number on the screen changes, and you realise the block is perfectly plumb and the tower opposite is the one that has moved. You write it down twice. Below you a kettle clicks on in somebody's kitchen, a radio plays, and the whole estate goes on standing where it always stood, pointing back at you.
