Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal

Definition:
Kathmandu falls under siege to the eruption of a swift and fierce lightning storm.

The faintly-lined rooftops glowed intently under the steady flashes and endured the storm better than any. The roof dwellers, on the other hand, remained uneasy at the enormity of the bolts and with where they struck; But we were drawn to them, drawn like moths to a lantern.

One after another, their echoes crashed violently and without warning over our heads. The moon dared not show itself under the ferocity of this storm. Rather it cast itself behind the dim glow of receding clouds, patiently waiting to reclaim its reign over the sky.
