Siren Lake
For years after his wife had passed away, with their daughter asleep in bed, he would sneak down to Siren Lake: where this world is reflected in the next. There his wife would be waiting, smiling beneath water still as glass. Often she would reach out to him, beckoning him to join her. With tears in his eyes, he would always refuse.
When fever cruelly took their daughter, he found her with her mother: reflected in Siren Lake. Both smiled and reached out to him. Finally ready, he took their hands in his and allowed himself to be pulled under.
