Glad the pond didn’t get its way. The internet would be rather dull without your presence Thomas.

I’ve been to ponds in Maine on many an occasion and you’ve captured the atmosphere beautifully. A haunting tale.

I read this anew. I'm glad I did. You perfectly illustrate this brush with life in a very Lovecraftian way. I almost imagine a Necropolis type of graveyard on a hill above you with lavishly built Family crypts overlooking the scene and brooding above just as darkness makes its early evening play. Inspired glimpse of a man's triumphant return from the shadows to continue on the hero's journey.
