Man Sharpening Scythe in Hefei Twilight

by Pierce Duncan

Cool blue light washes over a man kneeling on wet pavement in Hefei, his posture focused as he draws a whetstone along a scythe blade. Raindrops bead on the dark metal, catching faint highlights against the surrounding gloom. The early winter air hangs heavy, visible only in the mist clinging to the stone and the damp sheen on the man's coat. He wears simple, dark clothing suitable for the chill, his hands steady against the rhythmic friction of steel and stone. Behind him, the blurred outlines of city buildings fade into the twilight, leaving the figure isolated in a pool of negative space. One droplet rolls slowly down the curved edge of the blade, reflecting the dim streetlight above.
