Death on the Tombigbee

What would you do when hard times came a knockin'? Would you lie? Cheat? Sell you soul? Even murder? What evil, and greed, and cruelty would you stoop to to put bread in your mouth, and the mouths of your children?
The Tombigbee River has seen it all: dark ritual and bloodletting, cruelty beyond imagining. Take a fearful journey into the shadowed woods that brood over the uncaring, troubled waters that snake within its ageless channel. You may not make it back. One of twenty shorts stories in A-Sides.
