Ethan put on his hat and walked out of the ridged door, calling to his Mother. "I'll be back soon ma!" He said as he put on his leather torn boots. Ethan headed for the barn, he had his daily chores to do for his Father. He opened the wooden, aged door, he picked up a hammer with rusted from age nails. When he picked up the fence post to begin his job, fixing the old fence post out in the field. He looked out to the distant when he saw a cloud of dust out wander, he dropped the hammer and nails and began to walk inside the old house. Ethan called out to his mother "Ma get the masks, the dust is a'coming!" He closed the door and turned over the bowls and plates, he put on his mask and shut the windows.
