Tommy Guptill had once owned a
dairy farm, which he’d inherited from his father, and which was about two miles
from the town of Amgash, Illinois. This was many years ago now, but at night
Tommy still sometimes woke with the fear he had felt the night his dairy farm
burned to the ground. The house had burned to the ground as well; the wind had
sent sparks onto the house, which was not far from the barns. It had been his
fault he always thought it was his fault because he had not checked that night
on the milking machines to make sure they had been turned off properly, and
this is where the fire started. Once it started, it ripped with a fury over the
whole place. They lost everything, except for the brass frame to the living
room mirror, which he came upon in the rubble the next day, and he left it
where it was. A collection was taken up: For a number of weeks his kids went to
school in the clothes of their classmates, until he could gather himself and
the little money he had; he sold the land to the neighboring farmer, but it did
not bring much money in.

Tommy had worried a good deal about
his children at the time of the fire; they had gone from having their home be a
place that class trips came to each year in spring the fifth-grade class from
Carlisle would make a day of it, eating their lunches out beside the barns on
the wooden tables there, then tromping through the barns watching the men
milking the cows, the white foamy stuff going up and over them in the clear
plastic pipes to having to see their father as the man who pushed the broom
over the “magic dust” that got tossed over the throw-up of some kid who had
been sick in the hallways, Tommy wearing his gray pants and a white shirt that
had Tommy stitched on it in red. Well. They had all lived through it.
