The brick chimney stood impossibly alone in the middle of the otherwise empty field. The house that had once been attached to the chimney had obviously been at least a two story affair. The still standing tower of brick made me wonder if gravity had chosen to ignore this patch of land.
As much as I wondered about the longevity of the chimney, I wondered even more about what had happened to the house. How could it be that a home attached to such a sturdy tower could not still be standing? I saw no scorching on the brick - which ruled out fire. Intentional demolition would certainly have leveled the chimney as well as the house. So just what had happened here?
