MURKY SKY

However, the azure blue sky dancing with vibrant kites turns murky as the sun sinks under the shadows of dusk. The street lights, once brightening the city, no longer enliven the gloom. The shortage of electricity and the excessive consumption of fossil fuels results in electrical power outages. Load-shedding renders the city dreary for hours at a stretch in the evening, daily. Oil lamps and melting candle wax pile up as people sit in their homes, helplessly anticipating the electricity’s unpredictable return.
