A teetering, towering testament to a bygone era, within about eight years this grain structure mo longer punctuated the High Plains skyline. I don’t know whether its downfall was a downburst, tornado, blizzard, or simply the pressure of one final gust against the wrong wall. If it had a voice, I wonder what stories the building could have told me of the Panhandle storms it weathered. Now it sits in a heap of rotting wooden rubble, never again to tell such tales, even by inference, nor to pose for photos while facing a sunset such as this.
