This is a Drabble — a story of exactly 100 words. This drabble was inspired by the thousands of electric linemen who poured into Western North Carolina and the other hard-hit areas of the southeast after Hurricane Helene. Those men and women are truly heroes whose efforts deserve to be hailed.

Likes knights of old on their white chargers they crossed many miles to reach those in need of their special skills.

A continuous line of white trucks rolled into the devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene, bringing hope and power to those who had lost so much.
