Fire Escape Puddle Reflection Under Tongi Dawn

Mist rests on the cracked asphalt beneath a flickering underpass light in Tongi, just after sunrise. A shallow puddle on the street corner acts as a dark mirror, showing the sharp, jagged silhouette of a rusted fire escape rising from the wall. The metal structure appears inverted in the water, its rungs and rails distorted by the heat shimmer wavering above the pavement. Soft, diffused dawn light washes over the wet surfaces, turning the grey concrete into a muted silver. A faint orange glow from the overhead bulb reflects in the water alongside the black iron outline. The puddle's edge breaks against a small stone, creating a tiny ripple that distorts the mirrored image further.
