The Ones Who Never Came Back R C Bowman

A little girl found a leg on the shore of my lake.

The authorities won't drain the lake to look for the rest of the body.

They say it's impossible, that five thousand acres is too much, even to look into a potential murder.

The thing is... they emptied it out a while ago just to clean up some old sewage. They absolutely can drain the lake if they want to.

But maybe they know better than to try.

-From "The Lake"
