Abstract
All is not as it seems in a small midwestern town. Siblings root through a sentient Mud Pit, and trade with a house cellar and a kitchen drawer. They find artifacts of their lives and of their absent Father, though sometimes they throw these back from where they came from. The movie theater is infested with bats, and a hummingbird gets trapped in a garage. There are ghosts and magic, and a scratching-the-surface exploration of the small, odd town in which all of these characters live.
