Day Before the Strike

Captain Vasili wandered through the bustling streets of Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, marveling at the rapid pace of development taking place all around him. The sound of heavy machinery and construction work filled the air, drowning out all other noises and causing Vasili to instinctively cover his ears. He gazed up at the towering skyscrapers under construction, their steel frames and concrete pillars rising high into the sky.

As he walked, Vasili noticed that the streets were teeming with cars of all shapes and sizes, honking their horns and jostling for space on the crowded roads. The hustle and bustle of the city was overwhelming, a far cry from the serene and remote landscapes he was accustomed to in his line of work.
