A few of the most
telepathic
people
of
that region can be heard
declaring
that
when
the flames were at their
peak, two men and a
woman were drifting in
the midst of the fire, and
that they ascended on
black threads through
the
collapsing
and
molten steel girders and
the broken glass, then
passed through the air
like lightning to vanish
with a clap of thunder.
