dust

Today I got caught outdoors in a sudden dust storm. Everything went grey, then black because I had to close my eyes or be blinded. Since Kabul has the highest percentage of particulate fecal matter in its air of any city in the world, what I was really caught in was a shit storm. Yes, ewwww... I agree, it's disgusting. Before, my experience with these dust storms was through a window. I hope to keep it that way in future. As soon as I got home (two hours later) I stripped and hit the shower, but though the body is clean, my eyes remain a startling Dracula-red.
