VI. THE MAN'S WORD OF THE MAYOR OF MARION
In the middle of a crisp January morning, the sleepy town of Marion awakens to the clang of looms and the steady rhythm of the All‑Wool Mill. Stewart Morrison, a thirty‑something bachelor who lives with his widowed mother, runs the mill from the ground up while reluctantly shouldering the mayor’s badge and the chairmanship of the State Water Storage Commission. His ironclad rule—no visitors before ten o’clock—keeps the workshop humming, but it also hides a restless tension as the city’s newly elected legislature prepares to convene.
As the day unfolds, the mill’s brass doors open onto a bustling office where old‑timed paymaster Andrew Mac Tavish watches the townsfolk with a hushed, wary stare. Rumors of a “white coal”—the valuable water power that fuels Marion’s future—begin to circulate, drawing in politicians, laborers, and curious onlookers alike. Against this backdrop of industry and civic duty, the first hints of conflict stir, promising a twenty‑four‑hour snapshot of ambition, loyalty, and the small dramas that shape a community.
