“
One night my wife told me she was goiing to bed early, I kissed her goodnight, she went to the bedroom, which would have ben rght here". He gestured to the edge of the hole, the beams still hanging out over the abyss. "I'd had a few that night so when it seemes like the house was rockin' a little I thought it was the beer. It was soft, not like an earthquake but like just before you pass out, like the whole wolrd is gently swayin' beneath you. Then there was this noise, unearthly, like a growlin'. Like old pipes, kind of. And then it was all at once. The whole side of the house was just gone, sucked down in seconds. I didn't even hear nmy wife scream or nothing. I went out there and I could see rubble. I tried to find her but the ground was still sucking everything in, like it was hungry. Water was bubbling up around me, little pools of filthy water burbling, like a fart in a bathtub".
