The guardian :)

"Guarding" home and hearth above the area Nik helped to demolish

while surveying this from it's vantage point.

Now there is stillness as homes dry out and wait for the next stage. Soon all of these visual reminders of the storm will be gone as huge double trucks haul everything away. People laugh and joke but then they look each other wearily in the eyes and no words need to be said.
Children are missing from their yards, except for one intrepid young man who played in his swing set amongst the rubble (not this location). Soon all their joyful laughter and desires to explore will return :) For the moment things are eerily quiet.
