Bury Me Deep

There are two ways to know when you are entering Jackapo County, South Carolina. The first is the sign. It is rusted through now and lays limp and bent in a ditch on the side of the road, its green face strangled by the thick, fleshy kudzu vines that pervade the county like the bulging veins of an arthritic. But it's there, greeting visitors as they come. The second way is more instinctive. You know when you are in Jackapo County when the hairs on the back of your neck rise and your bowels clench, for there are many hidden places in Jackapo County. Some bloom with achingly colorful wildflowers, in others things hide from the light beneath the boughs of nodding trees and wait until dark to emerge. So welcome to Jackapo County. We hope you enjoy your stay...
