- [Mother] — Back when me n’ yer father had just gotten married, he started his lineman work. He heard rumors from th’boys—you know, them tryin’ to scare him and all—and they told him about this thing. Oh, what was it?
[Mother] — Um…so I think it went—there was this man. He was experienced, he’d been a lineman for something like ten years. But, one day, he was workin’ a pole for fifteen hours by himself. When he was comin’ down, he brushed a live wire—somethin’ was exposed or something else, I’m not too sure—but he got stuck up there. They only found him because his flesh was burnt so bad the neighbors complained about the smell.
