Unexpected Son (2013)
“Sarah’s eyes felt as dry and as gritty as the soot-darkened snow and ice around the blackened shell of the F and M. She held her fingers before her face for a moment to relieve the strain, then looked out of the window of the shelter house at Sugar Creek Park and saw with a small jolt of surprise that the sun was fully above the horizon. She had been here all night. She blinked in the red-gold light glinting off the layers of ice that glazed the cinder-block walls and made the area around the b...uilding a danger to life and limb, but she didn’t look away.
Only the Tyler fire crew remained at the scene. During the hours when the fire had been at its height, Sugar Creek and Belton engines had been called in to help fight the blaze, but they had returned to their stations just before dawn. When she saw them leave, Sarah had finally let herself believe the worst was over. For one terrifying hour, soon after the first explosion, it had seemed they would have to evacuate the Green Woods Motel next door, and several houses that were downwind, because of the chemicals stored in the back portion of the building.MoreLess
