Drabble 297

Finished 6:36.

Out by the lake very little lived. Few birds would land there, and dogs that were walked past would refuse to approach the water's edge. However, when the local children walked past, a snout and a pair of eyes would pop out of the water, watching them go past. Once a young boy had approached the lake, when he'd been walking past alone, and was surprised when a sleek, beautiful horse slipped out of the water. He wouldn't tell anyone what he'd seen, though, for when he reached out to stroke the horse's nose he was pulled into the lake.
