The original short story I’m using as a spine for Something Seeps (Knee Deep) always started with Jeremy walking through the old front yard filled with broken playground equipment and old memories. One of them is Black and Blue, the nickname for the old tree out front with a poorly placed tire swing. Riding the thing would leave the kids with nasty bruises if they didn’t get the angle just right. Up above, the old fort still waits in the twisted branches, but what’s in there now?
