The Dirt Closet

By Patch Kolan

Sometimes the past doesn't want to be remembered.---

"Coyote, huh?" I scratch my beard.

The suit tilts the body of his SLR downwards and shows me the screen.

"What does that look like to you?"

I squint down at the washed-out LCD display, but even in the low contrast, I can see a familiar shape. In fact, I know it intimately. Dinner-plate-sized. Long, triangular claw impressions. Deep-set in the soft soil.

"Found a few just like this leading up towards the property boundary. Started down by the tree line."

"That's not a coyote."

"No. It's not."

Incorporating "I Should Get My Axe" and the sequel, "The Dirt Closet", Patch Kolan returns to expose the dark and sometimes frightening secrets hiding behind closed doors.
