When I drive through some of the small, forgotten towns here in Ohio, this story resonates with me. Those of you who have not yet read her novel Butcher (published in 2024) should do so. It is a wonderfully told story.
I have seen that bridge, or at least one like it, on back roads in west-central Illinois. One sticks out in my memory because the road leading to it was no longer there because the bridge was more than a little shaky.
Frightening and amazing and sad.

I am enjoying listening to, rather than reading, the story; while getting meds and breakfast ready. Love Substack voice capability.
Damn I had no idea this was gonna go where it went. Wonderful to read, I love having longer fiction to read on substack too.

That story completely defies comment.
