dark and mysterious

This morning I walked out into the pervasive gloom of darkness, the likes of which I haven't seen in years. A low gray fog clung to the streets, and the street lamps were all sleeping in an orange mist. The sidewalk was too dark to see, and the air was moist as a sponge dripping with water. My glasses fogged up and I stumbled along the street as headlights swept past 10 blocks to meet up with my ride to school. 6am is getting a bit hard to cope with now that it's October.
