Fire and Molasses
Amidst chaos, a city street is submerged in molasses. A woman wearing an ankle-length coat clings to a bent fire escape, her hat awry. A firefighter in a vintage outfit, including a rubber coat and brass helmet, wades waist-deep as he rescues a child from the sticky flood. Half-submerged in the molasses, a drowned horse lies by a collapsed store awning. On the rooftops, survivors huddle from the cold, breath visible, while a priest in a black cassock kneels beside a syrup-coated victim. Key details include a period-accurate fire truck with a hand-cranked siren, gas masks on the rescuers' necks, and the eerie, reflective sheen of the molasses.
