Laughter In The Dark
The legend says that the witches of the backwoods were different. They were not like the normal stories of witches that people are accustomed to. They were friends to the towns’ people. They looked to them for guidance when an illness plagued the town. They were healers, and in most cases, the redeeming feature of the town. They had saved the lives of countless children with their natural cures for pneumonia and influenza. They were invited to weddings, and barn dances. They were the life of the party with their unnatural outfits, and hilarious antics.

Amelia
The year was 1902 in the small town of Adairsville, Georgia. The hot summer sun blazed down upon the residents. There, in the cotton fields, men were working hard to earn the meal being prepared for them by their wives. The children were all doing their usual after school chores to assist their parents. Since the end of slavery, the normal duties of tending to a home fell back onto the shoulders of the farmers. Now, instead of sipping ice cold lemonade, and watching their annual crop being harvested, these men were remembering what it was like to work hard to survive. They wiped the sweat from their brow before picking another bushel. They glanced back in the direction of their cozy homes, longing for the comforting coolness that lay within its doors.
