"I need some fresh air", she thought and slid open the glass door and stepped out onto the balcony. The humidity hit her like a wall when she stepped ...hrough. The last glimmer of sunset was lost in a murky haze, with dark clouds looming overhead. Far off in the distance, she could see a distant flicker of lightning. The air was still, pensive. Nature seemed to be holding her breath, waiting for the cooling rain. The only sounds were the faint buzz of Sunday night traffic and a few indistinct. " I can't tell you this.
