The sound of the speed boats combing the lake rattled me back to my senses. Five bodies so far have been discovered at the bottom of the lake, all with signs of recent decomposition. “I got another two bodies down here!” Shouts one of the diving team. Seven fucking bodies now, what kind of a monster came to this little town?! I stand with the coroner while he examines the first two bodies we broug...

There is a man-made lake on campus. It’s a small thing. You can see clear across it even on the foggiest of days. On the warmer days, you can find a fountain fixed in the middle of it, the stock fish swimming up to it eagerly, only darting away when the geese take to the water to torment them. You can see all manner of activity on the tiny lake at the heart of the university—people skipping ro...

They found my body at the bottom of the lake. I watched them drag the sandy floor with nets and sonar and scuba divers. So many people had been looking for one person. I figured many of the volunteers did so out of moral obligation but I know others got a kick out of it- out of my death. Nothing ever happened in this town and I was the first to go missing after five decades of peace and quiet and ...

The lake.

My mind is filled with only good memories at the mention of those two little words, so I will be altering the prompt for this piece:

Rippling waves reflect smiling faces

Children laughing, talking, singing.

Splashing, jumping and diving

Into the water that looks so inviting

Cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends

Surrounded by your favorite people

Coming t...

There was a story, a story about a lost man. The man had 2 kids but that doesn’t really matter. He had went out fishing, mainly because he fished for a living, but one day, he went to a new lake. It was told that the lake had thousands of fish, and he could stuck it rich, but that’s, not really what happened.

He drove the long quiet 2 hours to the location, and when he got there he set out his lit...

We don’t go towards the lake anymore. Not after last years accident.

People don’t talk about what happened to the little girl down by the lake. We light candles and frame pictures of her.

Our school holds a ceramony and tells us if we need greif counseling we’re welcome to join. I use to play by that lake when I was younger. Me and my friends would jump in the water and the coldness would envelop...

The haunting at lake goad was a horrific sight almost like a nightmare. The lake was haunted by many but a group of friends didn't care....

The lake located on Frank Boulevard was supposedly the most murky lake near us. I didn’t believe it at first… but some weird things started happening.

I visited the lake 2 weeks ago. The murky smell rotted in the nose. I remember feeling a tap on my shoulder, like a person I knew. I realized for a minute that I didn’t turn my car off. I’ve came so far though, why turn back? I paced to the lake to...

No one knows why or what started this mysterious thing in dimond lake. But it may of started in the year of 1974. In 1974 few months before dimond lake became became mysterious. Everyone enjoyed swimming at this lake every summer.

Until one day in July this creature like scally gaint came through the water 10 miles from the pier. After that everybody never went to Simon’s lake for few decades....

I had nowhere to go the sun was beaming down on my face as I looked up to the sky with squinting eyes. How did I manage to end up here when just last week I was about to get married in my hometown of LA. If I could talk about this now I would but I need to keep moving I say to the stranger I just met in the middle of nowhere. There is a random breeze that swifts through the strangers long brown ha...
