We did not usually cover small house fires when I was working for the Selma Times-Journal. So it was quite by accident that I happened to be passing by and saw the burning dwelling. The frame structure was already enveloped in flames when I arrived, and clusters of neighbors had gathered along the dirt street to watch it burn. One of the women was embracing an older women, holding her close and trying to comfort her. A chill wind tossed the flames about and blew spirals of sparks in whirlwinds around the building. Out back, two boys braved the smoke and heat as they snatched the wash from their grandmother's clothes line. What they saved was all she had in this world.
