“The landscape around us was painted a deep, emerald green. Occasionally, a sliver of sunlight would pierce through the murky, overcast sky — a welcome surprise for the inhabitants of the resort, though everyone knew well enough that such pleasures were not meant to last, not in a place like this; it was commonplace for visitors to be encouraged to carry umbrellas wherever they went.”
