Fiction, Short Story
Mr. Bleach visits Mr. Brown about arrangements to use Mr. Brown’s land to build a reservoir. Mr. Brown is very against the idea of a reservoir replacing his town, and he tells Mr. Bleach of the beginning of the town and the struggles the early pioneers faced, including battles with Native Americans and the death of Mr. Brown’s friend. Mr. Brown asks God that he die before he sees his town turned into a reservoir, and Mr. Brown promptly dies.
