What had once been vibrant rays of sunlight were now billowing storm clouds, blanketing the dead landscape in a rain of hostile blues and grays, dark and tempestuous as the monsoons themselves.
The woman was distraught.
She was drenched and kneeling in the muddy earth, hunched over and weeping inconsolably beneath her long, dark hair.
Her tears formed into a river that wound through the landscape beyond her.
Her children were no longer in the picture.
I didn't want to keep driving.
Every cell in my body screamed at me not to get any closer to the weeping woman in the painting, and I knew I should listen.
I wasn't stupid.
Even as a staunch skeptic, I still knew who I was looking at.
I'd lived in the Wild West long enough to know that if you see a weeping woman by a river, you turn around and go home.
Even if it's a painting next to a man-made wash.
But that was the problem.
My home was right near the wash.
It was on a dead-end street with no other inlets.
If I ever wanted to get back to my house, I had to drive towards the mural.
And worse, once I got out to my driveway, I would have to get out of my car and into the open.
Completely vulnerable and well within the Weeping Woman's range.
My guts wound themselves into knots.
There had to be a different solution.
Monsoon storms didn't last terribly long.
