The Unknown Water
The elegant sun shines on the lake,
Reflecting the golden ray onto the ripples.
The boat glides on the lake,
The birds singing, Wind blowing,
Splash, splash.
The petite waves brush against
The small two seated wooden boat.
Splash, splash.
The waves in the lake are rising higher than before
Splash,splash
The boy sitting on the boat starts to become concerned.
A call comes from the house
“Dinner Time!”
“Coming!”
The boy replies
He starts to row back but then,
The boat tips!
The boy is forcefully shoved under the boat
Trapped in the water
He gasps for air
He struggles to try and move the boat,
but it is too heavy for him.
He hears muffled screaming and crying
It’s coming from the house
The boy’s vision slowly starts to fade
He tries one last time to move the boat.
He is unsuccessful.
He gives up, his body tired from struggling,
Slowly he sinks to the bottom of the lake.
