What’s in the grass and what do I know? There are creepy and freaky things below. All sorts of insects and crawly creatures are among grass’ most fearsome features. I wonder what else is in the grass, seeds and stems in a crevasse? They sprout and spread en masse creating a soft sinking morass. I believe there are secrets we’ll never see perhaps some...
