It’s everywhere. The fine mist-like clouds swirling, settling on everything in its path. Closing in like a blanket, obliterating objects a touch away. Everything important sacrificed in the blink of an eye. Those who are inexperienced, panic, and point fingers. When the smoke lifts, what will remain? That’s when the trauma of the carnage becomes real. Like a black screen appearing on a computer. The disbelief when the silent scars and skuz is all that stares back. Memories wiped out. All because people didn’t bother to protect themselves with a firewall. There had been time…There always is. #AnnEdallRobson #TheQuietSpirits #FromWhereICome #99Words #FlashFiction #RanchLife #ForestFire #Computer #Firewall #TraditionsLivesOn Carrot Ranch - July 9, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that includes that answers the question, who is Monreal Dorb.

It is sad to think that in every walk of life there is need to build some kind of firewall around everything we hold dear.
