the colonel never realized that he had

12:27

what was probably the tasty as more so in the allows

12:29

sitting with them for is not li whiskey as

12:31

the young woman's give played arden seats

12:34

sealed in her from the be strange senses

12:38

the un

12:39

that's certainly in the fall of eighteen seventy

12:42

four

12:43

all mention of the colonel on is terrifying

12:45

daughter's simply cease

12:50

there had been a mine explosion

12:52

not far from tourniquet you'll recall

12:54

families of the coal around that part of west virginia

12:56

was

12:58

wrong

13:00

getting from the earth draw india

13:03

devoid of the fuel needed to question the flame

13:05

or else it came so fast in

13:08

tories smears so rich with petroleum

13:10

that it burned hotter than six the devils ales

13:13

and gave the seventh gave run for it's money the

13:15

asphalt mans west virginia provided

13:18

virginia goodly portion of the world street paving

13:20

materials paving that time but

13:22

it was dangerous work it

13:26

was rapidly proving to be cost

13:28

prohibitive when the same products

13:30

to be pooled and more safety and and greater quantity

13:33

from the sand wales just around the mountain

13:35

and kings valley without send and men

13:37

down beneath your

13:40

it was you

13:42

the within the darkness under

13:44

the west virginia mountains

13:47

something had gone horribly wrong

13:51

somehow despite all their care and

13:53

for caution something

13:54

and caught fire and

13:56

the mountain and the men and hill like offerings

13:59

learn for days without stopping

14:02

the explosion and shaken

14:05

and cracked the earth structures

14:07

collapse and twelve me and dot on the surface

14:09

of the job sites before any attempt to rescue

14:11

or recovery could be made for those still inside

14:16

the and they managed to pull twenty me

14:18

and from the wreckage of fairmont polls number

14:20

eight those

14:22

dot and hamper put

14:24

up and makeshift hospitals hastily

14:26

14:40

nurse maids and helpers to the handful a company

14:42

dogs the basically came by

14:44

every day he to watch the mean what

14:48

much they could do for i'm beyond keep them clean

14:51

and doped up and wait to see who made

14:53

it out the other side

14:56

the colonel did not call for her

14:58

in the first week of the fallout from the number

15:00

eight disaster and sheila threw

15:03

herself into caring for the injured mean

15:06

some are unable to speak their

15:08

faces an upper bodies wrapped

15:10

in thick bandages

15:13

the others were shocked into a deep silence

15:15

after witnessing so much death and destruction

15:18

on top of the pain of their own one there

15:22

was one man though the

15:25

never seemed shudder oh

15:28

this harlan had been with fairmont since

15:30

they opened the asphalt mods or grandma

15:33

as most men called you'd

15:36

wake screaming than the middle of the not

15:38

his eyes bound taught and taught and goals

15:41

screaming for his man and his mama

15:43

and all the other things a man who wakes missing

15:45

the lot he's lost my craw for most

15:49

max it would be

15:51

sheila who went to comfort his agitated

15:54

whore

15:56

oh this was not a superstitious may

15:59

and he was

15:59

not a foolish may the

16:02

was two years and his pain support

16:04

out his peers and shame to seal the

16:07

, of never been safe he says working

16:10

with that self sludgy colds wouldn't

16:12

do need deep mark was like being sucked

16:14

down the hill every day

16:18

the also told her about the strange

16:20

dream that all the men who worked

16:22

in number eight shaved no

16:25

me and would have it within their first week

16:27

on the job they

16:29

usually break down until somebody about at

16:31

once for the suffocating

16:34

lincoln of things men don't talk about

16:36

steal their tones and choked the words

16:38

off in their throats it

16:42

was always the same dream the

16:45

man would dream of come into work and be in

16:47

lower down into the mine where he would di

16:50

di di at

16:52

the soft cold cautiously he

16:56

at all for the horror stories he'd heard a

16:58

walk and happens if he didn't do it just

17:00

right then

17:02

without warning the

17:04

walls around him would crack open

17:07

and the dream and man would find that he broken

17:10

through the heart of the urged into a great

17:12

pitch black sea of always

17:15

hot , and all the

17:18

bubbled for from the mountain from the great flood

17:20

swallow and flesh and bones

17:22

cook in the men around a mother air filled

17:24

with their screams and he would way to the

17:26

cold sweat and not fun

17:29

sleep begin that now not

17:32

out of fee from

17:35

the unsettling realization that

17:37

he wanted to go wanted

17:41

to bathe in that molten shadow

17:44

and be consumed by the blood

17:47

of them out

17:50

17:53

the blood the mountain

17:57

sheila would as the main questions

, they're animals but

20:47

she taint dot her anger and smiled as

20:49

the thing hiding inside the body of an old

20:51

soldier lived across the room to

20:53

read to the glass of whiskey from the trades

20:55

20:57

to her horn

21:00

he took a cf oh

21:04

21:07

chuckle

21:12

and then he took a longer draft the

21:14

to east is just as magnificent

21:17

as i imagine i've had

21:19

to be

21:24

flesh and bones would much

21:28

21:31

colonel swirl the amber liquid

21:33

in the tumbler and sniff

21:37

how we'd always feel

21:40

time he

21:47

ran his hand along the would have the

21:49

window sill textures

21:52

22:04

this world into their it's

22:06

meat from the bowl

22:12

his eyes roamed over sheila

22:15

and his brow furrowed slightly

22:18

the you wish to tell me something

22:20

missoula

22:22

there's nary not

22:25
