Winter Long Removed
We are a warm-weather species, in general. Which only makes sense, if you think about it.

The Witch’s Grave

Out in an unincorporated area in northern Chilton County called the 'Fire Lanes,' there's a small family cemetery, the Campbell Family Cemetery, that's locally infamous. This legend has been shared with me by several locals in the area, all of whom assure me it is absolute fact.
It's [...]
