Yellowstone Park

Dry lightning splits the night sky over Yellowstone Park, igniting lodgepole pines in a ferocious blaze that races across 500 acres of resource benefit zone. Flames roar unchecked under the 'let it burn' policy, serotinous cones bursting open as fire reshapes the wilderness, natural regeneration surging through ash-choked earth. Distant fury grips White House strategists, optics crackling like embers as policy clashes with political heat.
