Small-town America shrinks even smaller. The abandoned churches, farms and houses finally submit to the kudzu that has threatened to consume them for years. The ghosts dwell in their old lives, which are more forgotten with each passing minute. Their sepia photographs grow damp and moldy, and their grandchildren move to the city. The little plot of land—the only thing they could call their own—is being slowly reclaimed by the earth. They sway and sob in their ancient nightgowns. They mourn a place that was once barely more grand. They know they cannot halt the passage of time.They find solace in the swampy haunts where they half-exist, forever.
