      Dandelions and Crows

      *

      Don’t tell me you ain’t never heard of the Devil’s Tramping Ground, the old coot said as he spit a mouthful of tobacco of the front porch of the country store. The scraggly fellow wiped the droppings off of his stained overalls and onto his leg as he offered S. S. Crush his hand in one smooth motion as he continued, Name’s Lemuel Green.

      Crush surveyed the hand carefully and opted to place his own hands behind his back before speaking.

      Never heard of it.

      You aren’t from around here, are you? a voice spoke in the dark. Then a hand reached out from beneath the counter and a head popped up surrounded by a ring of thick cigarette smoke and disappeared again beneath the counter just as quickly. I could see it in your eyes when Green mentioned the Grounds, the voice added from beneath the counter.

      Yeah, I get that a lot, Crush answered as he leaned over to get a look at the attendant. What’s he talking about?

      No head came up for air, but a bag of peanuts came out this time with the hand, then the voice spoke again, "You’ll want
