Frozen Chaos and Rescue
A street engulfed in chaos, molasses flooding every corner. A woman with a soaked ankle-length coat clutches a bent fire escape, her hat askew. A determined firefighter in vintage gear, including a rubber coat and a brass helmet, wades waist-deep, pulling a child from the thick syrup. A drowned horse, its harness caught in a collapsed store awning, lies half-submerged. Survivors on rooftops, visible breath in the cold, look on as a priest kneels beside a syrup-covered victim. Inclusion of a period-specific fire truck with a hand-cranked siren and gas masks hanging from the rescuers' necks adds to the scene's detail, with everything shimmering in the sticky residue.
