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
