During unusually dry years, a normally perennial stream may cease flowing, becoming intermittent for days, weeks, or months depending on severity of the drought. The boundaries between perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral channels are indefinite, and subject to a variety of identification methods adopted by local governments, academics, and others with a need to classify stream flow permanence. As stream flow decreases in dry weather, visible flow above the stream bed may not be readily evident, especially in streams with coarse substrate gravel and rocks , where water is flowing beneath and between these particles hyporheic flow . From a biological perspective, a stream may be considered flowing if sufficient water is available to support flow dependent aquatic life, including fish and gill breathing amphibians, benthic insects, crustaceans, and mollusks, many of which survive in shallow hyporheic flow beneath rocks or logs.

The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. He writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos, and so on. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name, and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983, and 1985.
