Rumors

May 26th, 2018

Several people are talking:

• "Did you see?" The man in a suit says to the cafe attendant "Last night I swear the old mine lit up like a roman candle. Fire everywhere, green fire. It spurted out of the old mine like a hundred thousand fireworks going off at once, and just fled into the surrounding forest! And after that wildfire last week I'm surprised we didn't have another!"

• "Dearie," Grandma scolds her grandchildren "That light last night was foxfire, and don't you go thinking that it has anything to do with none of that glowing mold your mother says. That was true Faerie Flames, and that is why you don't go playing on the bridges over the River Tam, you hear me? You donnae want to be ending up like Little Suzie last year and go missing, do you?"

• "We're lucky," The volunteer firefighter says over a round at the bar, "Whatever set off that explosion at the mine didn't catch anything else on fire. We barely got the last one contained, another one, this one spawned by some unstable chemicals... that would be the worst..."
