Used to be this joke. Stop me if you’ve heard it. “If you believe that, I’ve got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you.” I’ve been dredging off the Grand Canyon Coast for quite a while now, and folks still find it in themselves to laugh.

Ain’t no one owns property out here.

“What Washes Up In Arizona” was first published in Dark Matter Ink’s The Off Season: An Anthology of Coastal New Weird. The anthology can be purchased as an ebook at the link above.
