“The Adventures of Huckle Bearer Twin.” by Drew Andrews

The backwoods blackwater ways, of BlueBear and ShadowCrow River from Mayson County to the Gulf of Mexico, ran in the mud-clogged veins of the Twin family for as long as they have been cutting the soil of the land named after Lord Mayson Twin. Their roots were deeply rested, like the Cypress Groves that line the canals, in the historical clay. The origins of both worlds owes to the other. Marcus' Great-Grandpa's Great-grandfather, who named the rivers after his first and second wife, was the first to travel towards the ocean by passageways...
