The Eye's Mystery

Creative Writing by: Weronkia Karpio

Can you solve the mystery? Why did two teens go swimming in a lake but never return home, can you answer it? Is it supernatural or criminal, whatever happened to the two teens? In the middle of summer, August, on the hottest day of the year, two teens snuck out of a campsite where their parents slept and went for a midnight swim, all was going good with one of the teens, Oliver swimming and ducking under the water and the other teen, Mia, fished in the vicinity of where Oliver swam. Is your curiosity peaked? Maybe not but know this, they did not drown that night. Mia kept feeling tugging on her fishing line but never once did she reel it in or check that she did not hook Oliver, while Oliver swam mostly underwater and never once complained of Mia's fishing hook near him, but as one might predict Oliver swam into Mia's hook and punctures his hand, an ordinary teen would howl in pain and get a med kit but all they did was take the hook out and return to what they were doing, they were acting trance like never once breaking their routine, Oliver went back to swimming and Mia continued to fish. Maybe some environment description will help you figure it out. The lake looked like an eye, round, surrounded by trees on all sides, the nearest city was almost 45 kilometers away, and it was all nature out there with only campers spread out every 5 kilometers. While they continued their routine Mia somehow got injured, with two deep holes in her neck that seemed to be made by a small weapon, she was bleeding profusely but did not make a sound, Oliver swam up to her but try as he might the bleeding did not stop and they never did go back to the campsite to try and get help. To this day no one knows where they went, a trail of blood was spotted near the lake but quickly ended, there were no big predators near there as the forest was a major campsite, and no bones or bodies were ever discovered, they had seemingly vanished. If you closely read this, one thing might bother you: how do we know the details and what they did if they snuck away or why they acted in a trance? The only answer is that there weren't just two teens in that lake, something inhumane was in there with them.
