Commuters Ascend Wet Stairs from Khartoum Underpass

by Maverick Fitzpatrick

Grey daylight floods the opening of an underpass where a stream of commuters climbs wet concrete stairs. Monsoon rain coats the steps in slick, dark patches that reflect the overcast sky above. The side street flanking the exit features market stalls lined with colorful awnings and stacked goods, sheltered from the persistent drizzle. Figures in varied attire move upward, their silhouettes sharp against the bright, hazy air. The wet pavement at the base of the stairs mirrors the grey sky, while the rough texture of the concrete contrasts with the smooth, rain-slicked surfaces. A discarded plastic bag rests against the stair railing, caught in the damp urban stillness.
