Humid air whispers softly
City slumbers on
At 1:05 AM local time in Charleston, South Carolina, I find myself standing still, taking in the quiet of the early morning. The air is warm and humid, with a temperature of 69°F (20°C). A blanket of clouds obscures the night sky, diffusing the ambient light from the city. The streets are deserted, and the usual hustle and bustle have given way to a serene stillness. The only sounds are the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hum of a passing vehicle. The surrounding buildings, mostly residential homes with a few small businesses, stand in silent repose, their facades dimly illuminated by streetlights. The scent of blooming flowers and the salty tang of the nearby sea mingle in the air, creating a uniquely Charleston aroma. It's a peaceful moment, a brief pause before the city awakens to a new day.
