Frozen Lightning Over Logistics Coolers in Addis Ababa

Insulated crates stack in neat rows beside a dispatch screen glowing with soft blue data, casting sharp geometric shadows on the sorting belt floor. A clipboard rests on a crate, its paper illuminated by the screen's radiance. Outside the high warehouse window, a dry season sky holds a bolt of lightning frozen mid-strike, its jagged branches etched in white against the deepening twilight. The electrical discharge hangs motionless, branching across the glass and reflecting faintly on the plastic surfaces of the crates. Dust motes do not dance; the air remains still and precise. The frozen storm illuminates the metal latches of the coolers, highlighting their utilitarian texture against the fading natural light.
