The Accident

"The Accident" is the first part of a miniseries called "Lady and the Steelworks."

Story
The sun began to set, painting the sky with rose pink and crimson red. Work at the Mainland Steelworks was still not finished. "Who should take all this scrap to Vicarstown?" thought Hurricane aloud. The forehead of his face was wrinkled in thought. His eyes were squinted a little as he looked at Frankie. "Merlin could do it..." "But he's on his way back from London with diesel fuel." "How about Lexi? She's been working hard." "Hmm...what about this, Theo could take it." "Take the trucks?! Rubbish! Those trucks are loaded - well, some of them. The point is that he isn't too strong." "But he has proven himself to be really useful and has shunted heavy ladle trucks round the place." "Fine," sighed Frankie, her nose sadly letting out air, her eyes lowering in disappointment.
