In the year Granddad died,
We had the worst flood since 1998 / the highway extension came
Gregg was trapped on top of a dog house / the road through Possum Springs
The power was out for two days / had been the only way to the state park
Casey Hartley came by in his dad's boat / the highway took the traffic
And I laughed when I saw him / but gave us Donut Wolf
Granddad left me an apple crate of books
He loved ghost stories
And quoted them to himself on the hospital bed
"They feared death / They went looking for the gods / In their wings, in their trees
So they ate the young. / and died in lonely places / All things die, be at peace."

on his last day
he sat up suddenly
and stared bug-eyed through the window
at the old playground / at the old train / at the old empty mill / at the old parking lots
half washed away / from somewhere else / windows half busted out / wide and sparkling like oceans
he returned to my dad
eyes still wide
"this house is haunted"
he said
and died.

Wow. When did they put this up? Possum Springs has never looked more……falsely advertised. Visitors are going to be so let down when they see the actual town.
Prepare to be disappointed, ye who enter here! Our town motto.
State forest up top, regular forest everywhere else. Woods, woods, woods.
Look at that minecart. That's all long gone. Was this made by a time traveller?
It must be such a relief to payphone companies that Possum Springs gets zero cell reception.
It'd be cool to call my parents, but some jerkhole took the time to actually rip it off. Who steals a phone? I wonder what they're doing with that phone.
Sleeping with it at night, taking it for walks, holding it tight, talking to it to nobody, smooching it so right.

I'm not walking back out to the highway. Probably get hit by a car or something.
Hey where did that janitor go? Did he walk?
Well I'm right outside town. Mom and Dad nowhere to be found. Dark and cold. Guess I'm walking. Alone.
This bus station is maybe the newest thing in Possum Springs. Guess they got state funding or something.
It makes a good first or last impression I suppose, If not for the abandoned glass factory back there.
Not getting rid of that anytime soon.
Wow. I didn't realize how much I missed the sound of that train. I used to hear it in my bed at night during the winter when the leaves were down.
Well, I guess I'm gonna hike through the woods. Though the woods is home, my bed, and my negligent parents.

Ugh. This is some dank nature. Dank nature and garbage.
Are these Food Donkey shopping carts? That's all the way across town! That's dedication!
There used to be an old sawmill around here I think. I mean the park up there's called Sawmill Park.
Looks like they lost a log load at some point. *sigh* Gonna have to climb this I guess.
Shopping bags are little ghosts of grocery stores, haunting everywhere else.
Oh wow I heard a toad. And a ghost owl.
I bet there are any number of potential witch familiars down here.
Oh my god. That was dangerous! I could have died! That was amazing! I am not gonna die in this hole.

Wow. I haven't been here in maybe 10 years, and apparently no one else has.
I don't know what they were going for here. Some sort of boat castle? Most of it's gone now.
Just a thing for weird animals to eat and have babies in. I wonder what kind of weird animals have babies in there?
Dirt possums. Night snakes. Mystery beasts of all shapes.
I remember Cathy Daminco's boyfriend took her here to make out and then break up.
And then the next day Cathy pulled out Cindy Clark's nosering at the Fort Lucenne Mall.
This entire area is so full of romance.
Hey! You can still see Mr.snorkles on this!
Oh come on. Don't think I have the upper body strength to climb this…
You can't keep me out, Possum Springs. I am queen of you. ……Could probably just jump off this telephone pole…
Ahoy! I definitely remember barely reaching the top of this wheel. I definitely remember barely growing since then.
It's only been 2 years since I lived here. Not in this playground, Possum Springs I mean. This is all getting jumbled. I should write it down.

Looks like the ladder's gone. If I could just get to the top of this thing… Ugh. I could never make it up onto that tree when I was a kid.
The number logs mocked me. The logs and the other kids. Lemme see if I can visualize this… Mmhmm. Mmhmm.
Can't stop running while I do this. Not even for a second. Gotta have enough momentum. I think I can do it. Run and jump jump jump!
Maybe I should just give up without even really trying? Hmm.
OK let's try this run and jump-jump-jump thing one more time.
Wait, what do I need to do again?
Screw this, I hate this.
(dialogue end)
(tips)
Wait, maybe if I try it with my eyes closed… Faaaaaaaaaantastic! I should do this all the time! Maybe I can get my driver's license now!
