Legacy Betrayed
“It started with her dreams that night. Coal 106 didn’t normally dream at night. When she did dream, she dreamed of plunging her shovel into piles of coal and sending up plumes of soot. It was just like her waking life, except she never grew tired. She supposed these were what they called “nightmares.” The only break from the monotony of the dig and the thrust and pitch and the thrust was the trudge back to the trolley with the other miners, and then, back to the dome. There, she’d receive her h...osing down, her towel, and finally return to her unit. Unit 106. The narrow chamber, fragrant with mildew, and the threadbare cot. Her tiny window, and the distant moon.
Then she’d wake up, and the alarm would be shrilling. A small gray tunic, freshly cleaned but permanently stained, would be hanging on her door, and the sun would be rising. The trolley would be waiting. The workers would be mulling forward.
But the night before last, something had happened that had never happened before.MoreLess
