Collapsed Fire Escape Nablus Alley Night

Rusted iron stairs hang precariously from a weathered concrete wall in a narrow Nablus alley, their twisted metal forms barely visible against the deep black of the night sky. A thin rim of cool light catches the jagged edges of the collapsed structure, separating the decay from the shadows. Beside the hanging debris stands a bus shelter, its glass panels fogged with condensation from the humid air following recent rain. The glass reflects faint, distorted streaks of distant street illumination. Puddles on the wet asphalt ground mirror the dark silhouette of the stairs. One rusted bolt protrudes from a fractured step, its orange surface catching the faintest highlight.
