Browns Mill Earthquake - 1947
For Your Information
by Tom Horonzy
I may have started as an idea on a cold winter night in February 1947,
but more likely I began as yen between a woman and a man who had a hankering
for some pie but not the apple pie kind, if you get my drift, in the plush back seat
of a nineteen forty-five Chrysler New Yorker on the banks of Mirror Lake,
near Browns Mills in Pemberton Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey,
which was when an earthquake was reported at 23:23 p.m. measuring 4.9
at 58 minutes and 25 seconds North and 74 degrees 34 minutes West.

Writing Prompt Write a story of 100 words. not including the title. Any subject accepted. Must be exactly 100 words. |
Is forty-five a one or two word count. I have added an additional 'I' after likely as two individuals indicate it is one, and thus I fall a count short despite my counter indicating 100.

I typed this hoping it would appear as an editorial in the Trentonian as a single column article. It did not appear as desired, but live with it! :))
I remember the New Yorker only because five years later I was almost pulled from it when the rope I was dragging from the window wrapped around the axle while we were speeding down the road.
Of course, I don't recall if the incident reported ever happened, since I could not have witnessed it, but Browns Mills was a favorite swim hole.
