Spectacle
October 27, 2003It’s snowing ashes outside, and a cloud of smoke is slowly rising behind the mountains.
I watched the spectacle this morning on my way to work, which is just miles away from the fires. It’s almost pretty.
Almost, until I remember that almost 1,000 houses have burned down and at least 13 people have died from the fires. My heart breaks for the families affected, and I worry for my friends who live nearby.
