The Lake Crimes

By

Anne Austen

Many, many years ago, in a small village near a quiet lake, lived a man. It had a nice house, a beautiful black horse, a beautiful wooden cart, a great job and many good neighbors with whom he got along very well. But, above all that, his greatest treasure was his son, a clever and good boy whom he worshipped.

One afternoon the man decided to go fishing in the lake. He placed the rods on the shore and laid down. The day had been very hot, but it blew a breeze that cooled the atmosphere. The man was so glad that, without realizing it, he fell asleep.

He woke up many hours later. It was closed night and a huge moon shone on the waters. The man got up and started to pick up his rods, but something in the middle of the lake caught his eye and made him stay still.

A shining object slid towards him. As it approached, the man could see it better. Despite the damage caused by the bright light in his eyes, he could distinguish a head, a torso, some arms, and legs. However, the light was so strong that it did not allow him to see the features of the face very well.

“Who are you?” He asked when the figure was near the shore.

“I am the spirit of the lake.” Mortals cannot contemplate me without paying a price.

“What price is that?”

“I want you to give me your son.”
