They say he was ten feet tall had seven toes and fingers on each hand and foot. Judaculla "the slant eyed one " was the Cherokee god of the hunt, the harvest, and of judgement. Eight hundred years. The People populated this area until they made contact with Europeans. I feel their ghosts sometimes. ...

Re: a small boat
I work on a lake. It's not small, though has many coves. This resonates with me. Ever hear of Lake Toxaway?

Re: Eugenics
I'm not sure "eugenics" is really the word you're looking for here. Historically, in the US it was about forced sterilization of "undesirables.
That is how most will relate to the term.

Dale excising the lung/bible line
kinda makes "to preach" in S5 stick out. I will reiterate my vote to keep both. Iron lung works because it alludes to a terminal illness and we know nothing of the brother

Years of neglect, the lines feeding the main pump failed,forcing the inverter to siphon air and backwash. It wasn't like they say: down the left arm, sharp chest pains. It was sweaty and clench- jawed, more like a pulled muscle . They stripped veins from one leg dangled them from a hemostat like ove...

Re: Little One
This reminds me of the Navajo storyteller whose job it was (is) to instruct the youth.
There is an ancient voice and simplicity.
The peach tree threw me a bit. Usually associated with GA. Unless it has some significance, might change that. Minor.
On overall good piece. Authentic
