METANOIA, A Wonder Place

Episode 21

            Eli and Cora's relationship lasted for a while, unbeknownst to his brother, one day Hanry did not come with his sister, and the events that he feared had finally happened, that day Eli did not come home, waited until night, still Eli was not there, in the removal of bad thoughts that arise, until the next morning, still no sign of Eli.

            Hanry immediately looked for him, everyone he asked, but no one knew where Eli or his other friends were, until the way to the lake where they used to fish, but still the same, there is nothing there, anyone asked no one knows, not even know his sister.

            He was confused, where else to look, had been a few days without an answer, now Eli's face was plastered on the notice board missing people, Hanry felt very guilty, he said, having let his sister go alone, something he didn't know had happened.

            Without Eli beside her, there was nothing to stop Hanry from drinking as much, he became even more chaotic than before, Hanry sank into despair, he no longer goes hunting, all he does is eat, sleep, and drink until drunk.

            Until finally he went fishing, to the lake that usually, in the heart of Hanry felt like disappearing like his sister, he resigned, and let the boat oscillate, and, take him to the end of the lake.

            In a state of drunkenness, eyes were twinkling, he saw a woman who came out of the water, he said,

her black hair contrasted with the lake water, half the body of the woman, unlike the average person, there was no pair of legs, the woman crept out of the lake, her fish tail wriggling on the ground, the, pushing his body up to the surface, until it disappeared behind the tall grass that covered.

            Hanry tried to focus the vision, in the rubbing of his eyes until reddened, from behind the grass, appeared a girl, with the same long black hair, with, it was just that this time there were a pair of human legs, their eyes met, making Hanry's body goosebumps all over.

            Although he was drunk, he could tell which was real and which was not, and this time Hanry was very sure of what he was seeing, immediately on the boat's paddle to the edge of the lake, Hanry ran very fast towards the bar, where everyone was always cuddled.

            In telling everyone what he saw, everyone fell silent, and began to laugh at Hanry, who drunkenly walked into the bar, telling silly stories.

            Finally no one believed, Hanry came home angry, he was very eager to beat everyone in the bar, manun intention was pummeled, when he remembered his sister.

            On the way home, Hanry thought about how to make everyone believe, in seeing the weapons he used to hunt, displayed on the walls of his house, began to be covered in dust, he said, so long he was not happy, ideas began to appear in his mind, “people will not believe without proof” he said, and from that moment, he began to stick to bring evidence, he said, to those who don't believe it.

            The next day, early in the morning Hanry had gone, to the lake, he did not intend to fish, took a detour, visited the marshes, and he did not intend to fish, behind the bush Hanry waited patiently, until there was one of the creatures who was careless.

            Hanry had been sitting there all day, and soon the sun was going to set, but there was nothing he could find, for the first time in a long time, Hanry went home hunting without taking

            But his spirit did not fade away, the next day he came back again and again, Hanry continued to move around the place of intercourse, who knew his prey would appear elsewhere, he said, but he still found nothing, even for a small footprint does not exist. For almost a month, Hanry did not give up, until everyone laughed at him, and called Hanry crazy.

            The day was cloudy, the sky seemed like it was about to collapse, and a storm was seen coming, but that did not stop Hanry, to continue his hunt. By the time Hanry had just reached the lake, the rain had already started to fall, the swamps would soon be filled with water, and it was impossible to hide there, either, Hanry felt desperate at that time, maybe this was his worst hunt.

            Half desperate, Hanry decides to take a rowboat, which Eli and his friends used to fish in, in the rain, he sits pensively, pensive, floating in the middle of the lake that is getting blackened.

            The rain was getting heavier, but Hanry had absolutely no intention to pull over and shelter, the water was accommodated lazily, he thought “let it, just, I disappeared like my sister this time.”

            Under the swift rain that fell, and the sound of the strong wind, there was the same singing, although it had not been hunting for a long time, but its senses were still sharp, and its senses were still sharp, little fanciful footsteps, it could be heard clearly, this time a faint singing was heard. In the way the sound came from, and his eyes were fixed with a black shadow emerging from within the water, the torrential rain made him unable to see with

obviously, but Hanry remained vigilant, it could have been the creepy creature he saw yesterday.

            In his hand held the rifle tightly, and in a ready position Hanry continued to pay attention to the creature, whenever he could fire his weapon, and kill the monster that was in front of him, but Hanry waited, wanting to confirm what he saw first.

            The figure disappeared, drowning in the lake water, which was no less black than the shadow he saw, Hanry remained vigilant, not the slightest bit of weapon in his grasp, he said, his eyes searched all over the surface of the lake, until everything was quiet, there was only the sound of wind and rain that filled, the lake water suddenly calmed down, even though there was a storm above.

             Suddenly his eyes managed to catch the movement under the water, which was approaching his boat quickly, Hanry immediately pulled the trigger of his rifle, but missed, he said, now the creature was under his boat, and a strong shock shook the boat, as if it had hit something so powerful.

            Shaking Hanry into the cold water of the lake, his rifle disappearing from his grasp, Hanry tried to get back into the boat, but something suddenly pulled his foot, drowned him very quickly towards the bottom of the lake. Hanry tried to fight back, but for free, now his lungs were filled with water, just before he was out of breath, Hanry did a final experiment, he took a dagger

the one from earlier he kept, the dark lake water, made Hanry unable to see his target clearly, directed him dagger to the ankle, at his swash at random, although he may have been hurt, but the risk he took.

            Finally the grip that pulled his leg ended, and Hanry was able to swim to the surface, what was happening on the surface of the lake, was much different from inside, inside the lake the water was calm, like there was no storm on it.

            Hanry tried to reach for the boat, and raise his body, but again, someone tried to pull him, in his kick as hard as possible, until the creature released its grip. Some of his weapons have now been lost, probably joined together with Hanry earlier, which is left now only an old spear left in the boat, has not been used for a long time, until it filled with rust.
