Leather Armchair Glow Monrovia Predawn Rain

Soft amber string lights hang above a worn leather armchair resting against a tall, dark bookshelf in a Monrovia interior. Predawn darkness fills the corners while moisture from the monsoon season rests on the glass of a nearby window. The worn leather shows deep creases and a matte sheen where the light strikes. Wet reflections shimmer on the polished floorboards beside the chair. Dust motes hang suspended in the warm beams cutting through the gloom. The bookshelf holds rows of faded spines and small ceramic objects. one drop of water rolls down the windowpane, catching the glow of the bulbs.
