Petrichor in the Panels

Atmosphere: post‑rain. A faint rainbow. Rising petrichor. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Last night, the sky warned of impending pressure — Thor or Indra working overtime. A middle‑class human threads eight to fourteen hours for survival commodities. Arriving home, I relaxed into robes of respite and recovery — bam! Framed fiberglass shivered breathlessly. Rosemary tea steam giggled upward as my hands clutched the porcelain mug of solitude. Water drops misbehaved like EDM beats — screeching along panels of confinement, daring the adult to let the child’s fortune be drenched under the flushed‑out sky. A smile secures the roar of nature — taking solace that even the weightless wagons of the open blue must turn gray and dark to see colors. Hum. Another sip of rosemary tea. Ah. Five of the seven have arrived — petrichor dense as soil freshly bathed. Time to call it a night. Another beaker of 9‑to‑5 silk awaits its fill.
