fire that engulfed and scared and clung..."; "scared" is a typo for "seared," I take it.
I thought it was a typo for "scarred."
That was my first thought too, but it doesn't really fit; if Peters dies where he falls there's no time for the fire to "scar" him.
You're right, Adam. It's a typo for "seared" in the Timescape "original publication" paperback, p171.
