The Stench (Pt. 3)

To be clear, this story is posted in three immediate parts and was not written with the intention of being segmented. If you want to read it all, every part should be available now. This story is primarily about the moral and physical degradation brought by extractive coal companies in New Mexico, but I also consider it an allegory for some types of desire that, if explained, may overcommunicate my intention for the piece without letting it speak for itself. This final part is also substantially shorter than the other two, which are available in the larger collection.
