If you hadn't helped us, we would've been 'up the creek'.
The coast is dotted with tiny 'creeks'.
The children waded in the 'creek'.
(..) Yeah? 'Bout time you came round for a visit, eh? I was havin' this dream. You and I were playing down by the creek like we used to. You were drowning. And I'd reach out. And then you'd jump up, and I'd realise you were playing a joke on me. (..)2014 The Dark Horse
