Pondtown Creek

Alabama · United States · Bridge

At the bottom of the hill there is a small wooden bridge, and beside it a wrecked car with claw marks all down the driver's door.

At the bottom of the hill on this road near Hartford, Alabama there is a small wooden bridge over a creek that runs off into the woods.

Off to one side there is an old wrecked car, and the driver's door is covered in scratch marks.

The story is that a hard man on that road killed a large German Shepherd. The dog, now described as white, is what people report.

A dog is a rare subject in this collection. Almost everything here concerns people, and an animal that comes back for the person who killed it belongs to a much older kind of story, the sort where the wrong done to a creature is answered rather than forgotten.

The marks on the car door are the physical claim, and anybody can go and look at them.

The road and bridge are rural and the land alongside is private.
