outside the building, the people inside could
feel the
building sway, as if trembling in fear.
On the
streets,
pedestrians dashed about madly, seeking shelter. An
old lady hobbled
along the street, cursing
when passing cars sprayed
water in a huge arc over her. As soon as the rain
stopped, the steam began rising.
Where
before there had been water droplets rising
from the
surface of the road
in a fine mist, there were now eddies
of vapor
curling towards the sun. If pedestrians walking
along the road seemed like spirits, it was because
they walked through billows of vapor.
If
the trees appeared to be moving, it was
because they
too were ankle
deep in the rising vapor.
However, the sun was very hot,
so very soon the
glimpses of the other world disappeared. |
