The Benoit bonfires were a local tradition, as were the scary stories we told around the flames.
Gilly had a story about witches that once followed her home when the moon was full, and Eliette’s friend Anna would tell her story of the blue children she’d seen once watching her through her first-floor bedroom window.
But nothing could top Grandpa Benoit’s story about the Tooth Fairy that lives in the south Florida swamps.
He’d wait until the sun was set, the flames were high, and the whiskey was running thick.
