North Korean Armorer in Prayer Hall Evening

by Ivan Hopkins

Sodium-vapor dusk glow washes the interior of a Pyongyang prayer hall in a flat, orange-yellow haze. An armorer stands before a low wooden drawer, fingers resting on the brass handles. Behind him, rows of rifles and ceremonial gear are neatly split into two distinct zones by a central aisle. The walls are lined with dark wood paneling that absorbs the low light. Outside the high windows, thick gray clouds hang heavy against the last blue light of evening. Peak autumn leaves in muted browns and golds press against the glass panes. The floor reflects the harsh electric light in long, distorted streaks. A heavy leather strap rests across the armorer's shoulder, its texture rough against the smooth metal of the rifle butt beside him.
