Retrieval, A Faint Hope for the Enemy

Day 54 – 11:30 AM – South District, Bay City Settlement, Parañaque City, Metro Manila

The light colored clouds at the sky above the settlement gathered faster and faster fusing into dark gray clouds that were the most common sign of a heavy rain or worst, a storm. It was as if a storm was going to form exactly with the settlement at the center. No one here had ever seen a phenomenon like this.

At the tent city and all other residential areas, the people stayed in their houses and tents because of the confrontation between the military and the camp of the rebelling Senator Estrada. Now however, not only those outside stood in place watching the sky, those who were inside wondering why it suddenly turned dark went out only to stare at the sky with shocked faces.
