all gone

Just over a month later, it had all gone and Fisher was diagnosed with alopecia, an auto-immune condition that destroys the hair follicles.

Kris Edwards was mourning the loss of his wife after they “just bought a house ... to grow our family. We wanted to have kids and we were taking the next step to make a home. And now that’s all gone.”

“The 1950s housing stock in the Palisades — smaller, older homes more vulnerable to fires — are all gone. I’m sad because I enjoyed the texture they brought, but whenever one burned, it made it likelier that the home next to it would also burn,” he said.

He was exploring the idea of bringing his family back, but the landmarks he once used to locate his apartment were all gone.

But the next day, he got a text from a neighbor: “It’s all gone.”
