"Daddy, can we go down to the lake?" begged the little girl as she tugged
on her father's t-shirt.
The morning weather sat silently and waited for the day to begin. The family's campsite was settled on top of a hill because they wanted to be able to see the true beauty of Puesta Lake.
"not now honey...I'm watching the morning news..." kindly replied her father.
She glanced at the television in the trailer and sighed.
"Sorry to interfere with this feature program but we have an urgent update from the research project, Rain. It appears that the bio-chemists have just experimented with the bacterial air that has been infesting the cities surrounding our once dear Raccoon city. The strange virus that Umbrella Corporation has created fifteen years ago has finally diminished and dissapeared. Granduva and Jewel City, the cities in which civilians evacuated during the time of the explosion of Raccoon City, are currently being examined by the President's best scientists currently known to date. Ricky Kunik, a virologist leading Rain project, said that there is still no evidence on what took place in Raccoon City and the dramatic end but also in relation to Umbrella..."
The girl really didn't understand what the adults were saying on the television. She didn't understand why the news were still talking about Umbrella and its odd experiments. She started walking down the hill toward the lake.
"Don't go far Dear, breakfasts almost done..." said her mother as she was scrambling eggs.
"Okay mommy..." she said as she ran down the hill, skipping half of the way. She hummed a tune her mother once sang to her when she was a little younger, staring at the insects crawling over the wild nature.
The little girl walked toward the old dock and looked around. She saw fish jumping of the water to catch its food and the ducks quacking and swimming around merrily. BUt then she spot a rotting log floating close by the shore of the lake.
The log was rotting as it floated with pieces of bark breaking away. The closer it got, the more human qualities it contained.
The girl gasped and realized that the log was an old man floating toward the shore. She hopped in the shallow end of the lake and trudged toward toward him. She gently pulled him to the shore and stared at him. His feet floated in the water with missing toenails. One toenail was yellow and cracked. He has rotting teeth and his forehead had a piece of skin hanging off.
"Um..Sir? Are you okay?" asked the girl as she touched his moldy suit. "Please get up.."
She nervously touched the man and heard a groan. She smiled with relief and watched as it twitched.
"You're okay!" she said excitedly and watched him sit up slowly without using his hands.
He slowly open his pale eyes and stared at the girl in an interesting manner. His lips were crusty and pieces of skin was hangging loseely from his mouth. He stood up slowly and groaned again.
The girl took a step back. "I...I think I should go now..."
The man slowly raised his hands at the girl and trudged through the water-
He suddenly tripped over the mossy floor underneath the lake and grabbed the girl by the ankles.
Screaming, she fell backwards with a loud splash into the water and struggled to get free from his grasp.
"Let go of me!" she screamed still trying to overcome the old man's incredible grasp.
Moaning, he pulled himself closer to the girl's ankles and opened his mouth as if it was going to-
Screaming in pain, the girl couldn't feel her foot anymore and she quickly got light-headed.
"HELP ME!" she cried. "SOMEBODY....HELP!"
The old man bit her again but on her leg. He chewed the flesh slowly as the girl listened to the squishy feeling of her skin in his mouth.
"Help...mom....dad....hurt.....good.....blood......flesh.............hunger. ....."
The once beautiful girl's blue eyes slowly faded and was replaced with a gray film. The sun shone brightly now, revealing the horror in Puesta Lake.
