I woke up at around four in the morning today.
The windows rattled and I thought it was earthquake, but the cat usually comes to snuggle with me when it is something subterranean.
However, when I opened my eyes I saw the tree banging at my window pane, the wind was howling like a bloody pack of wolves - it's still doing so as I write - and when I opened my bathroom window I was attacked by tiny bits of sand and dust blowing westward.

This is not a cool Mediterranean sea breeze. Oh no. This is angry Arabian desert wind.

It hates me.
And my nasal cavity.

Friends, the sky is white! If it (hopefully) rains tonight, it will be raining mud. Cars will be speckles and caked with wet dust.
I pity those who got their cars washed this week.
Tough luck.

I have a headache from the dryness. Any minute now my eyes will begin to water, again, and I when I blow my nose no doubt a bit of blood from ruptured blood vessels will join the sand that is currently trying to disable my breathing abilities.

I dunno about the rest of y'all, but this calls for a Siesta.

Yeah, I was so inspired by yesterday's wind and dust storm that I started to write a story about it. Not finished yet, but well on it's way. :)

We get those fairly regularly in Tuwani too. They're BRUTAL. My nasal passages have given up the fight.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
