00:00:23 At that age
00:00:26 I was almost too short to look outside.
00:00:32 Through one of my windows, all I could see
00:00:35 was a cloud, an ocean of ash.
00:00:41 It suffocated everything.
00:00:44 Out the other window, I saw the people in town.
00:00:52 Out both, I saw darkness.
00:00:59 Dad had always said, the job of dam keeper
00:01:01 is to keep the darkness away.
00:01:04 But by then, I was doing it alone.
00:01:12 I was the dam keeper.
00:07:40 Ugh.
00:07:41 Ugh.
00:15:37 Dad had always
00:15:38 said the job of a dam keeper is to keep the darkness away.
00:15:49 But he never told me what to do when it surrounds you.
00:15:59 His mask protected me from the cloud.
00:16:03 But nothing I had protected me from the people.
