The Haze

The night sky's on fire and it's not the red tinge of comforting rain clouds but The Haze which has trapped the day's heat and our city's lights, creating an impenetrable yet invisible barrier between space and earth. The stars that I've taken for granted every night have been blotted out by The Haze, which seems to be emitting some sort of eerie red glow.

Has it every been this bad? I don't remember constantly inhaling smoke and now I find myself unconsciously holding my breath - must be my body's natural defence mechanism against weird things in the air. Somehow it is no longer such a bad idea to be holed up in the office.
