Why the "Y" is no longer standing: fire.

 

It amazes me to see all the photos posted online of impressive buildings found still standing around the world despite being hundreds of years old. 

In the world in which I live, heritage buildings are consistently disappearing. They burn, they get old and are taken down because of lack of maintenance, they are torn down to make way for a new building. The one danger buildings in my world do not have to face is war but that has not been enough to save a large number of them.

The impressive "Y" building that once stood in downtown London burned one winter some decades ago. All that's left are memories and fading photos.

And replaced by things that have no soul or life.
