DAY 10
STORY #10
Some Things Never Change
Bill gazed at the lake’s dark waters, the dense forest surrounding it. His wife, Alice sat beside him in the canoe, eying their Indian guide. The tall warrior paddled across the wide lake, towards Bill’s new cabin. “You be quiet,” he commanded, “lake spirit no like noise. Spirit will waken, rise up, smash canoe--we drown.”
The lake was deep and cold. The Indian paddled in eerie silence. Abruptly, Alice spoke loudly, “Why’s it so quiet?” The warrior froze--then shrugged and kept paddling. “It alright,” the Indian said, “spirit knows woman can’t shut up for more than five minutes.”
