The Dam

by David Almond

Before the Kielder Water dam in Northumberland flooded the valley below, the villagers had already moved on. But two musicians returned one final time.

In the silence of the abandoned homes, they played—filling the empty village with music once more, knowing it would be the last time those notes would ever echo through the valley.
