Tire Fire

The smell is choking. The entire area is hung in heavy smoke. You can feel your lungs screaming that there is not enough clean air here, yet you carry on. The heat is oppressive and unending, even at night. Endless stacks of tires surround you, each one engulfed in flames. They will burn forever, or so it feels, a slow and greedy devouring of rubber that will suffocate the world with its toxic fumes. Best not to stay here too long.
