Hot Potato

Slaughterhouse


"This is a problem."
Everyone nodded and looked at the entrance of the tunnel.
"This is a huge problem."
Everyone nodded some more and looked at the entrance of the tunnel.
Silence.
"What if we close it down?"
All eyes landed on the unfortunate soul who uttered such nonsense.
"It'll be the end of the town!"
Everyone looked back at the entrance of the tunnel.
"There's a light over there," whispered the unfortunate soul.
"We know, it's the hole caused by the landslide."
"There's a light..."
"Stop it!"
The light at the end of the tunnel was not the hole.
