Golden Hour Computer Lab Exam Hall Before Lessons

Warm candlelight spills across rows of identical desktop computers in an exam hall near Ibadan, casting long, amber shadows across the floor. Dust particles drift through shafts of golden hour light filtering from high windows, illuminating the stillness before lessons begin. Rain streaks the glass panes, blurring the deep green monsoon foliage outside. The wooden desks align in precise geometric lines that guide the gaze toward the back wall, where the light grows dimmer. Plastic chair backs sit empty, their surfaces reflecting the soft flicker of the candles. One open notebook rests on the nearest desk, its pages blank and waiting, while the rain taps a silent rhythm against the roof above.
