In a post-apocalyptic America, Deaver Teague makes a living salvaging things left behind from before the war. When he hears some truck drivers talking about a hidden cache of gold in a Mormon temple in flooded Salt Lake City, he enlists some friends to look for it.

This story is included in Orson Scott Card's collection The Folk of the Fringe.

This is good writing. This review might sound a little esoteric, but I don't want to give any of the story away. It moves from outer world details to inner thoughts and reflections. I really enjoyed the structure of the story. If you want reduction at the end of a story, you may not like this one, though. It is kind of open-ended.
Rudnicki is great, as usual.

A surprising little story from Card

Very, very short. Characters not very fleshed out. Mostly one-dimensional. We don't get to know any of them, except maybe the main character Deaver or Deever. Neat little sketch.

Decent
