Drizzling Ink: Twilight Whisper

Description

At the moment the barges collided, tung oil bloomed like fiery lotuses across the river's surface. Tongues of flame slithered along the ropes like crimson snakes entwining the ferry dock. The deep slumber of the rainy season was torn apart as fire seeped through the carved window frames, staining the brocade curtains and silk canopies like mourning banners.
