Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Bring them Back

The smell of smoke was strong as it wafted over the townspeople as they worked. Lisa had given everyone time to rest and reorganize their thoughts, but the day was growing dim, and they had to burry the dead. This task was not easy for most of them. They knew those they buried as acquaintances, friend, or kin.

Nathan had just finished digging out a shallow grave for a man who’s name he didn’t know, but he recognized his face. The man had worked as one of the clerks for Mr. Flanagan and had always been adamant in his work to do anything to help the ERM provide for the town. Weeping alongside the sandy grave was a woman, much older than the man he had buried, that was holding the dead man’s hand tightly.
