The Lake
_Dear Diary,_
_I’m scared. My mom is making us go to Lake Francis but I’ve read news reports. 8 people have gone missing after they went to Lake Francis. Mom wants the whole family to go so I can’t back out. _

_Dear Diary, _
_We just arrived at Lake Francis. It doesn’t look to bad there are other people swimming. But there this lady and she is just sitting on a tree stump. She doesn’t have any bags or even purse. She’s just sitting there in a pink dress._

_Dear Diary,_
_We just got back home from Lake Francis. My brother is acting very quiet, which is unusual. I got sunburned on my arm. But nothing else happened. After I got out of the car at Lake Francis the lady was gone._

_Dear Diary,_
_My brother is acting very strange. He keeps mumbling about a lady in his dreams. I tried to ask him what he was talking about but then he freaked out and ran to his room. _

_Dear Diary, _
_My brother went missing yesterday. No one has seen him. Nothing in his room is missing. I don’t know where he is. But I found a note in his bedside drawer. It said, “The Lady is coming for me.” I don’t know what’s happening._

_Dear Diary,_
_The police found my brother. He’s dead. His eyes were missing. Half of his teeth were pulled out. And a smile was painted on his face in the same shade of pink as the lake lady’s dress._
