Still later around the campfire we would pass around cups of hot chocolate and retell the fearful stories of the strange things we grew up with....often pausing if we heard something move just out of range of the light. Got any marshmellows? Wiccoppee, NY was not much bigger, and the snakes were never in the fields when we played but we always found them in the pool and tangled in the bales of hay.
