Elephant on Rooftop Outside MRI Prep Room

Condensation beads along the edge of a glass partition inside a radiology prep alcove, marking the humid rainy season air of Mogadishu. Late afternoon light falls through sheer curtains, casting soft, diffuse shadows across stainless steel surfaces. To the left, a wall-mounted blanket warmer glows faintly, while rows of metal lockers hold keys for the upcoming scan. Ferromagnetic warning signs in bold red and yellow hang near the entrance. Through the open doorway, the city street below dissolves into a surreal horizon where a full-grown elephant stands calmly on a neighboring rooftop, its massive shadow stretching across the tiled roof tiles. The animal's skin texture contrasts with the smooth metal of the locker handles, anchoring the impossible scene in a grounded, spatially coherent reality.
