He goes on to tell about growing up as a kid exploring swamps and building caves. He describes an underground fire that mysteriously appears in a vacant lot down the street. Little wifts of smoke rising from the ground. It burned for years until one Sarturday afternoon during late winter there was a tremor followed by a mushroom shaped cloud. The entire field had been replaced by a hole.
