With no place to hide, Antony Brown looked around trying to find a place to escape the rain.
To his disappointment, there was nowhere to take cover.
Houses in the north usually have fences; thus, if he wanted to take shelter under the eave, he would have to intrude into someone's yard.
So, Antony decided to run towards the car parked at the village entrance.
With the rain pouring in the northwest, the road was filled with uneven mud pits.
One careless step and you'll find yourself in a pool of mud.
If you're a local, you'd know how to navigate through this muddy battlefield after years of experience.
But for an outsider, it's like a game of chance - stepping into one mud pit after another as if dropping dumplings into boiling water.
Antony rushed to the car and just as he was about to open the door, the rain suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the sky and cursed abruptly.
Just as he was about to get in the car, a thunderous boom shook the heavens.
