our city was covered with smoke from the nearby burning forests
now I can imagine big scary creatures that can hide in this smoky curtain hehehehe

in fact this situation is not very funny because now there is nothing to breathe and the house is quite stuffy because of the closed windows.

(I was translating the text and for the first time saw the word "stuffy", it sounds funny to me)
(I dont know why the translator gave me this word, because logically "musty" would sound more correct..)
