“With my big black dick,” I said, sotto voce.

“With my big black dick,” he bellowed. He was laughing so hard between yelling at the state that he was practically choking.

I lost it, too, and both of us were hooting with tears streaming down our faces.

“Blind,” Burr choked out, and he slowed and pulled off the highway onto the shoulder. A few cars whizzed past us as I leaned against the dash and laughed and laughed until my stomach ached with it. Burr was clutching dizzily at the steering wheel, trying to breathe. I closed my eyes, pulling in oxygen, until Burr and I had ourselves mostly under control.

It was quiet for a moment, and then Burr said, “What the hell is that?” I opened my eyes. He was staring past me out my window. I followed his line of sight.

“Oh,” I said, sobering. “That’s a heap.”

“A heap?” said Burr.

“It’s kudzu. It’s a plant, like a vine. It’s all over Alabama. It eats anything it touches, just climbs right up it and covers it and kills it.”

The heap outside my window had coated a row of dizzyingly tall pines. I could still see the basic outline of the trees underneath. The heap undulated in a sinister stretch, slowly reaching back towards itself from tree to tree, lacing itself higher, sending grounders out, looking for something else to climb.

“Let’s go,” I said.

Burr wiped his eyes and then put the Blazer back in drive.

There was very little traffic, and he pulled back onto the highway and gunned it.
