Storm Water (Short Story)

Ben is returning to his childhood home for his father's funeral, but everything seems slightly wrong. Especially the large storm drain in the park near his parents' house. It used to frighten him as a child, but now he's an adult, he knows better. And as a rational adult, it couldn't hurt to take a closer look, right? This creepy short story told in epistolary form is from Nixon's upcoming collection of horror stories, made available here as a preview to celebrate Halloween 2017.
