Sinking and Swaddled
by Beth Gilstrap
Ona walked for days, determined to find safety on higher ground. If she
read her instruments correctly, she was adjacent to a national forest. The
public would not stand for the sinking of a national forest so when she
found a slate bungalow, she settled there. Though two walls were missing,
she concluded it was due to wind and rain and the birch tree that had
swindled its way up and through the middle of the sweet, abandoned
home. It wasn't sinking.
