As the mist begins to clear, the swamp yaws its jaws and
lets loose a stench fit to choke a person.
The kicker is that we can’t sow it
with salt but have to try to reclaim it for the growing of more healthy and
productive crops … we don’t want to kill it, just drain it.
Ah the swamp.
It’s got critters in it, critters with fangs and claws that
are naturally going to object to their swamp being drained.
And there are bugs,
lots and lots of bugs.
There are big critters and medium-sized critters and
smaller critters.
There are critters so little you can’t see them but they’re
nonetheless deadly.
There are snakes and creepy-crawlies.
The swamp nurtures
mosquitoes and they swarm out in hordes carrying disease and death.
