The Boy on the Island
I live by a lake, it’s actually a very beautiful place and even after what I saw this summer, I still love going there. I moved in to my house approximately 4 years ago and had never had any problems. I have been able to see spirit since I was small, it never really frightened me; they always seemed peaceful, just passing through… or so I thought. It was a hot summer day the obvious thing to do was to go to the lake and relax, little did I know that it would not be a relaxing day.
I was talking to my good friend Geraldine and then I noticed a little bit of a sparkle coming fro the island in the middle of the lake. I had gone to the island many times so there was no need to get all excited but this was different I knew that I had to go over there. Me and Gerry (Geraldine) rented a row boat and paddled over to the island just expecting to find the usual geese crap and trees but it felt different today, sad almost.
I knew that a little boy had died in the lake 6 years ago I had been acquaintances with the mother, we have a small water fountain at our lake and he had fallen down it while no one was watching him, but other than that I never really knew too much. When we got to the island everything was normal, but at that exact moment I saw a boy on the island just a normal boy, no one would have known he was dead. He seemed happy but then I saw his clothes were ripped to shreds and he was bloody with cuts. I froze. I nearly fainted at the sight of a six year old boy covered in blood and bruises his eyes looked sad but he wore a smile.
“What’s wrong!?! Do you see someone?” Gerry asked in panicking voice
My mouth couldn’t move I just dropped to my knees, sobbing, as I felt the beautiful life the boy would have lead. And then I felt the pain in his heart. Geraldine was freaking out and wasn’t sure what to do, I snapped back to reality and soon realized this. I stood up blinking through tears and then he disappeared. We soon left the island rowing our boat in silence and I sat thinking about the boy looking at the water. I suddenly made out a face in the water a clean fresh lively boy smiling at me. There is a protector at the lake, there is an angel watching over all of us.
