Monday, August 22, 7:35 PM. Amy.

There’s smoke on the horizon. A column of smoke!

It’s toward Fort Worth, twenty or thirty miles away.

Claire and Trevor saw it a few minutes ago while they were walking Coolidge.

Brewer and Garrett have gone out to investigate. I wanted to go too, but then we’d all have to and that’s not a good idea. We don’t know who may be out there.

But this could be it. This could be the sign of another human being in our area. I just hope they’re friendly and safe.
