It was a foggy morning

Dense fog in all directions

No sunrise today

Not even a hint of the sun

A dull dreary uniform grey blanket covering everything

No raindrops but the ground was soaked

Water leaking from the fog

Everything was super quiet

No traffic sounds

The birds stopped singing

I opened the door wide

Expecting the fog to pour into the house

It stayed outside

Refusing to enter in fear of captivity

I went outside to capture some fog

Spooning it into a jar

Screwing the lid on tight

Labeling the jar with the date

Placing it on a shelf

I went back outside for a walk

Almost bumping into things

I soon got lost in the fog

Found my way home by chance

Decided to go back to bed for a few hours

When I woke up the fog had all gone

My view had returned

The sun was bright in the sky

I was relieved and wondering where it all went

Was the fog in another neighborhood now

Creating panic and slowing down traffic

I went to check on my captive fog in the jar

The lid was still tight

But it was all clear inside

The fog had somehow escaped

Perhaps they sent in foggy commandoes to rescue my prisoners

Clever stuff this fog
