Poetry: Hollow Lakes of Broken Glass

Tracy Anderson went fishing every Saturday afternoon with her dad when she was a child. Her dad wanted her to become a successful painter. One day, Tracy and her dad went fishing at the lake and he suddenly fainted. Tracy ran back to the house for help. As years went by, the lake was closed but later reopened, and visitors have reported sightings of an apparition by the lake at night.
