It was summer and it was so hot.  I decided one day to go swimming.  I am a girl, only eleven years old.  I forgot the date, but what happened there, was about three years ago.  I should’ve listened to everybody.  I should not have went alone.  I thought all was well, and I was able to go there.

     I walked off my parent’s property, onto what was called Old Man Mason’s Hill.  He was a man who lived all alone, there someone over the hill.  Some said he vanished and left his property unsold.  Some say he was the one doing all the bad stuff there.

     I saw a very tall steep hill.  I slowly made it over the top.  I was so curious to see what was there.  I came to the lake everyone talked about.  I came to the water’s edge and took off my shoes and socks.  Then I took off my clothes.  I walked into the water until I reached the deepest.  I could not touch bottom.  I swam in the cool water for an hour.  I got dressed and started home.

     I heard a sneeze from a man.  It scared me.  I started to run home.  Three Indians and an old man caught me.  They took me to a house.  Then they locked me into a room.  This room had a sonk and a bhathroom ws hooked on.  I tried toopen the door, after I realized I was locked in.  I even screamed.

     A mattress that looked likeit was a queen size was on the floor.  Several books and magazines were on a shelf.  I walked over to the closet.  I saw what looked like a door, inside the closet floor, under my feet.  I was very tired.  I went to the mattress and went to sleep.

     When I awoke, the clock onthe wall said six o’clock.  Then one of the Indians came and brought me some cornbread and milk in a glass.  I took the spoon and the glass and started to eat.  The Indian watched me.
