Story notes for "Knoxville" by Resonant
Never posted. First published on this here web page in February 2001.
This was supposed to be a sequel to "Tender," but it got orphaned when the reference to Knoxville got cut. (Read the "Tender" story notes for more details.)
I used to live over the mountain from Knoxville, and my car (a 1978 Ford Fiesta with a leaky oil pan, as it happens) broke down there once. It seemed like the kind of place where just about anything could happen.
