The Tall Grass

Standing tall in the rains of Washington State are blades of grass that grow so thick they almost whistle in the winds during a storm. They reach far and wide along Heather's back yard. She used to play there with her sister Kendra until she disappeared about 7 years ago. Since her mother died when she was young, all Heather was left with after that was her father, the town Sheriff, who has lived inside a bottle most of her life. She left after high school, confused and angry, and went away to college. Now she is returning to wade through the tall grass and find the secrets she knows are hidden there. To find answers to the questions she has about her sister's disappearance, the ones she knows her father has buried beneath the tall grass. Secrets that may cost her the very breath she breathes and the only family she has left as she parts the grass and starts to dig at its roots she begins to realize that those secrets might be better off hidden. It's too late; she has already stirred up the soil and uncovered a truth she would have never expected.
