The large, spindly trees around swirled wearily like an old woman with broken boughs bending and dry leaves falling from its branches.Linda Solanke grumbled with distort, sighing at the intrusion of rainfall and the mist veiling her soggy windscreen in scuffle with the car's wiper which was battling with all might. She took a U-turn, her gaze pensively directed on the road.
