Imaginary Friend From The Lake-

Every day since my family and I had moved to our new home by the lake my son had started talking about his new friend that lived in the lake. I thought he was talking about an imaginary friend so I thought nothing of it.

One morning after I made breakfast my son was drawing and I went over to see. His drawing was extremely peculiar. It was drawing of the lake and a dark humanoid looking figure with fingers long enough to look like claws and razor sharp teeth.

“Honey what is that?” I asked.

He turned to me and smiled “That’s my friend from the lake.”

“Oh…he uh seems nice.” I walked out of the kitchen to start cleaning. After about almost an hour I went to go look for my son. I called out his name but he didn’t reply. I called it out again and still no reply. I looked in his room and he wasn’t there. I looked in the living room and in the kitchen but he was nowhere to be found.

I ran outside and I saw him. He was by the lake. I ran to him and asked him what he was doing. He said “I was looking for my friend.” I sighed and brought him back inside.

That night I woke up to the sound of footsteps. They sounded heavier than a child’s so it couldn’t have been my son. I shot out of bed and slowly opened my room door. I peered down the hallway and saw a figure in front of my son’s bedroom door.

It turned to me with glowing pale eyes. It turned back to the door and went inside. I ran into my son’s bedroom and looked around. It was gone and so was my son.
