Burning down the...city

The ash continues to fall. The fire is getting worse.

I looked down the block as I was walking to work. I tried to figure out exactly the point where the smoke haze began. Usually, it's to far to be so precise. But right now it is a thick batting around us.

Two Blocks. That's how far it takes before things haze like a romantic movie shot.

People are beginning to get sick from it. I can taste it in my mouth as I am walking outside.

You shouldn't be able to taste the air.
