#1664: Mycology
[[Two children, a girl and a boy, are talking to an adult woman as they walk away from her. The boy has a bucket.]]
Girl: Me and Jack are going up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
[[The children have left; the woman calls after them.]]
Woman: Okay, have fun!
[[The woman stands and thinks.]]
Woman: … wait. What the heck is going on with the hydrology around here?
{{Title text: Jill and Jack
began to frack.
The oil boosts their town.
But fractures make
the bedrock shake
and Jack came tumbling down.}}
