We buried the village to kill the spores that took it over. Everyone there was infected - from spores floating around the whites of their eyes to fully fledged caps that clogged their throats and gently suffocated them, waxing and waning with every breath.
None of us thought we'd have enough to detonate the surrounding hillside but we just about managed it. The whole place went under in less than an afternoon and every man, woman and child went under with it. We made sure of that and used any found bodies to clog the chimneys that poked through the rubble.
We thought we'd trapped the spores, killed their food supply and sorted the whole thing out but there's a cough that's been going around the villages just south of there. They say the spores are back, that the infected tunnelled their way out and underneath the homes of their neighbours.
They say the chimneys are smoking.
